Thank you, Denis!

The contract between the Blue-White-Sky Blues and Russian guard Denis Zakharov has come to an end.

Denis spent five seasons with Zenit, joined the prestigious Club 100 of the St. Petersburg team, and ranks sixth among all players in the number of appearances for the Blue-White-Sky Blues. Zakharov played in 176 games, scoring a total of 569 points, as well as recording 176 assists, 136 rebounds, 59 steals, and 9 blocks.

In St. Petersburg, the guard won the VTB United League and the Russian Championship, claimed the Russian Cup, won the VTB United League Supercup twice, and lifted the Kondrashin and Belov Cup four times. He also earned silver and bronze medals in the United League and Supercup.

Denis Zakharov was one of the key heroes of the golden match against CSKA in 2022. His crucial three-point shot in the closing moments of the game played an important role in the outcome and helped Zenit claim the championship title.

In the past VTB United League season, the guard played in 41 games, averaging 2.3 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 10 minutes on the court.

Zenit Basketball Club thanks Denis for everything we have accomplished together and wishes him success in his future career!
