Of course, each of us it seemed that Kyle and CSKA are inextricably linked, we hoped to continue the cooperation, but still life gives us new challenges. Kyle spent seven great seasons, helped win two titles of the champion of Euroleague, brilliantly coped with the functions of the captain, became a symbol of the team. His contribution to our overall success cannot be overstated, and we very much respect the player’s decision to take on this new challenge, to start a new phase of my life. Us – teammates, coaches, and staff of the club, the fans will miss you Kayla, we will miss Gianna, Anna and Justin, we all wish health and happiness to the entire family of Chainsaw. Thank you so much for all these years!
