Major boost for Red-and-Whites ahead of Maccabi: Zvezda unleash new reinforcement against Israelis!

Following a narrow defeat in last week's Eternal Derby, Zvezda face a must-win scenario at the Arena as they host a Maccabi side struggling for form in recent weeks.

Ahead of the clash against the Israeli outfit, the Red-and-Whites have received a massive boost, with Ibon Navarro naming new signing Christian Koloko in the 12-man squad.

Koloko recently arrived in Belgrade to provide crucial reinforcement at the center position following several seasons in the NBA.

The Cameroonian big man has spent the last few days practicing with the team. While he was rested for the ABA League game against Igokea, Navarro has deemed this the perfect moment for his debut. Koloko might not see heavy minutes right away, but he will have an immediate opportunity to showcase his skillset to the home crowd.
