Our club has decide not to extend the contract with center Courtney Sims after the trial period. CSKA is thankful to Courtney for his professional approach and desire to help the team.
Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA Head Coach:
"I'd like to say thank you to Courtney who answered our invitation and showed himself as a true professional, high-level player and a nice guy. Sims helped our team a lot in practicing, demonstrated great work ethic and ambitions during trial period. But as we saw, especially during the game vs Olimpija, Sims is having difficulties in opposing European quick power forwards right now. From the other side, Courtney lacks power to play as a center. No doubt, he is a very good player, but we were very careful when choosing the new player for our team, we were considering a number of candidates and made the other choice."
