The decision to leave Zenith allegedly got the Champagne Napier.
According to a Russian journalist, the 30-year-old guard left St. Petersburg to return to the US. As reported, the reason for the departure of the former NBAer is not due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but the fact that does not feel completely ready to return to competitive actionafter his serious injury.
Napier was acquired by Zenit last summer, but only managed to play two matches with her, for the VTB League Super Cup, which took place at the beginning of the season.
The American then seriously injured his leg and underwent surgery, completing his recovery a few days ago.
However, as everything shows, Napier does not intend to wear the Zenit jersey again and it is very likely that his term there has ended.
Shabazz Napier has left Zenit, I’m told by the source. But the reason behind it is not that obvious – he would’ve left Russia anyway ’cause he did not feel he was ready to play. That’s why he was prepared to fly home.
