Dubai Basketball have bolstered their roster with a double signing of French super star centre Jerry Boutsiele and top European talent guard Kosta Kondić.
Boutsiele, 32, arrives in Dubai after spending two-and-a-half seasons in Turkey. He is set to make his debut this Sunday when the team takes on Crvena Zvezda in Serbia in the Round 16 ABA League game.
In the Turkish Basketball League, he averaged 11.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and counts Denain, Cholet, Limoges, Monaco and Bahçeşehir, as his former clubs.
Bosnia’s Kondić, 23, has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half year contract but will have to wait to wear the Dubai jersey as part of an agreement that will see him continue to play for his current club, Mega MIS, as a loan player for the rest of the season.
This season, he has averaged 27 minutes per game, recording 15.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2 assists for Mega.
Both players bring a wealth of experience and talent to Dubai Basketball’s strong-assembled roster.
The signings come at a time where Dubai Basketball sits fourth in the standings, with an 11-4 record after a 89-78 defeat to ABA League leaders, Budućnost VOLI, in Round 15.
Dubai Basketball will again be on the road in Round 16 where they will travel to Serbia to take on second-placed Crvena Zvezda (13-2) on Sunday.
They will return to Coca-Cola Arena on January 19 against Cedevita Olimpija.
