Shved will play for Dynamo until the end of the season

Our team’s guard Alexey Shved will play for Dynamo in the remainder of 2009/10 season. The clubs have formalized a temporary transfer of the player today.

Shved’s contract with CSKA is valid until the summer of 2013. Alexey played in four games this season, spent 12 minutes on the court, scored 3 points, made 1 rebound and 1 assist.

Natalia Furaeva, vice president of CSKA:

We care a lot about Alexey, we have a long-term contract, and we believe he is the future of our team. In this regard, it is important for him not to stop in progress, and he needs playing time for that. In Dynamo he will get the chance to play more, to become a part of an ambitious team, ready to fight with the strongest clubs in Russia. We wish Alexey success and we are confident that he will show the beautiful game, gain some experience and come back to us matured and ready to compete for the roster spot.

Alexey Shved:

Of course, I am sad because I am leaving my team, my friends, with whom I was pleased to play and live. On the other hand, I'm sure I will be comfortable in Dynamo, because I know my future team-mates very well. But the main thing – I’ll get more playing time now. I am ready to fight for playing time in Dynamo, to play any position and do everything the coach requires.
