UNICS stars Jalen Reynolds and Louis Labeyrie returned to Kazan after their holidays and underwent medical check-ups before preparing for the new season.
«Yes, I missed Kazan a lot. Missed the borscht, the atmosphere. Kazan is not such a big place, but it’s very quiet, homely. Yes, I did really miss Kazan.
The sky is the limit, so you are gonna put the work in. PErsonally, I just want to be the leader and lead by example, to be better that I was last year».
Labeyrie expressed hope that UNICS will be able to repeat the success of last season, when the team became League champions for the first time.
«Hello to all Kazan fans! I managed to miss you during the summer I spent outside of Russia and Tatarstan. I’m glad to be back and join our revitalised team.
I expect us to build team chemistry in this team, to win as much as possible and defend the title. It is always grat to have one, but better to have two».
