Andrei Kirilenko has signed a three-year deal with CSKA Moscow with an NBA return option.

Kirilenko began his career in Spartak St. Petersburg at the age of 16 and went to CSKA Moscow one year later.

"I am glad to be back to the team where I spent the years of adolescence." Kirilenko said. "It’s a pleasure to have a chance to play for Russian fans, my friends, relatives. CSKA has a very strong team, great coach, excellent players. It’s great when the highest goals are ahead of you. It’s especially interesting to play under the load of responsibility. I am sure that we are able to solve any task together."
