A few hours after leaving Paris, Mr Michael Kesens he found a new… basketball home and indeed in the Euroleague, with Alba Berlin announcing his acquisition.
Kesens was one of the 6 players he took with him from the Bonn in Paris o Tuomas Isalowith the German center (2.06m) returning to Germany and signing a contract with Alba until the end of the season.
This season, the Kesens he didn’t manage to get into his rotation Thiago Splitter and therefore he did not play in the Euroleague, while last year in European matches he averaged 4.3 points with 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 13:32 minutes of participation.
This marginalization was also the reason for his departure from Paris, with him looking for a more active role, hoping to find it now in the team of his hometown, which recently lost Trevion Williamswho went to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Kesens, in his first statements as an Alba player, said: “I’m really looking forward to playing for the team and the fans. It is a great honor for me to join the Alba family and I will give it my all. Winning is the most important thing for me and it’s part of Alba’s dna. See you soon at the stadium!».
A statement… controversial as the German club is at the bottom of the Euroleague standings with just 3 wins in 20 matcheswhile in the championship he is not doing any better, being third from the end after 13 races!
