Ponkrashov is back to CSKA
After two seasons on rent in BC Khimki the guard Anton Ponkrashov (23 years, 200 cm) will wear our team’s uniform again in the next season.

Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA Moscow head coach:

“I am very glad that Anton is back to CSKA. I consider him one of the most promising players in Russian basketball. In two years on rent Ponkrashov matured, he became more experienced. Now he has a chance to prove that he grew up as a player and to show himself on the European level with our team. I would like to wish him good luck. I am sure he will help CSKA.”

Anton Ponkrashov:

“I wanted to get back to CSKA badly. First of all, because Evgeny Pashutin is a head coach of the team, and I won U20 European Championship with him at the helm of Team Russia. Very interesting team is gathering here and it is interesting for me to try myself in it, to help it win – and we don’t have other goals rather than winning. It is a honor for me to become the part of CSKA. I think this time I am ready, I play much better, I became smarter as a player.”
