Welcome, Timofey!

Basketball club Zenit and Russian guard Timofey Gerasimov signed a two-year contract. The newcomer chose #24 for his jersey.

Over the past two years, Timofey has played for Enisey being one of the team's leaders in the recently concluded season. His average stats were 8.6 pys, 4.3 reb, and 4 assists.

The 26-year-old guard appeared in 31 matches this season, starting in 28 of them. In February, Timofey participated in the All-Star Game of the VTB United League.

Zenit GM Alexander Tserkovny:

— We have been following Timofey for quite some time and even made an offer for him to join us before the previous season, but the player had commitments to Enisey. Over the past 2 years, he has shown significant improvement, and I am confident that his progress will continue at Zenit. Timofey will help us tackle the upcoming challenges.

Zenit guard Timofey Gerasimov:

— Hello to all Zenit fans! I'm very happy to become a part of such a strong club. This transfer is very important for me and my family. I'm looking forward to an exciting season and competing for top positions in all tournaments. I will do my best to help the team regain the VTB United League championship!

Gerasimov comes from Lokomotiv-Kuban system. He made his debut in the VTB United League for Loko in the 2017/18 season and remained in Krasnodar until 2020. Throughout this time, we went on a loan to Pari NN, and in the summer of 2020, the guard fully transferred to Nizhny Novgorod, where he spent one season before moving to Enisey.

Now Timofey comes to St. Petersburg. Welcome!
