Forward Will Clyburn will continue his career in another team...

Thank you, Will!

Will moved to CSKA from Darussafaka Istanbul in 2017, after he debuted in EuroLeague with Turkish team. From season to season, the basketball player added in skill, becoming a truly versatile player, playing in almost any position. The pinnacle of his career was 2019, in which Clyburn became one of the key figures in CSKA's Euroleague title campaign, was selected into the First All-EuroLeague Team and was awarded the Final Four MVP trophy. Together with the team, Will also won three VTB United League and Russian titles.

In red-and-blue colors, Clyburn played 236 games (51 start), averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 steals.


Andrey Vatutin, PBC CSKA President:

Parting with Will turned out to be very emotional. I know that he really got attached to our team, to the club, to Moscow, dreamed of ending his career here, to see his jersey under the rafters of the arena. Here he grew up as a player, here his wonderful family felt comfortable and grew up. Many bright moments in the history of CSKA are associated with the name of Clyburn, and we are all sincerely grateful to him for victories, dedication, fight, and leadership qualities. I really appreciate that he played this most difficult for all of us season to the end. Unfortunately, circumstances forced us to part our ways, and we sincerely wish Will to continue performing at the highest level, earn many team and individual trophies, health and happiness to his growing family.

Will Clyburn:

As we all know, everything comes to an end sooner or later. Our family has been in Russia for most of our kids’ childhood. This was truly home away from home. I’ve been blessed to be a part of something truly special with this Club. CSKA gave me the opportunity to build a legacy here. Still one of the greatest accomplishments of my life was winning the EuroLeague title with this club. UNREAL FEELING!! We’ve had great memories and not so great memories. And with that being said I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve met some incredible people over the years being here with CSKA. And I have to say that a lot of them have shaped me to the player I am today. So to all the players, coaches and medical staff I’ve had the pleasure to work with, thank you! To Andrey, Natasha, Shep, Nick, Tazu, Anton, Dennis, Kurbi and Simon, you guys are one of a kind. You guys have treated me like family since the first day I’ve arrived. I’ve always felt I’ve belonged here with you guys. All the talks, jokes, hihi-haha, practices, dinners, hugs and battles will always be remembered no matter what! Thank you guys for everything! Thank you to the Fans that have supported us to the end!!!
