“The virtuoso and fan favourite is back to Prometey!
Friends, we have reached the finish line regarding the composition of the team. As promised, the intrigue regarding the last player would be interesting.
The American forward, known for his magical dunks and cool jumps, fan favourite DJ Stephens, is returning to Prometey. He is a full-fledged member of the Prometey family, as this season is going to be his third with the team.
After the early end of the last season due to the war, DJ had to return to the French league. It was there that he continued his career in the “Fosse-sur-Mer” club. During this time, Stephens managed to present French fans a lot of bright highlights - not only in official matches, but also in pre-match warm-ups.
So, the contract is signed, Stephens is back to Prometey. So, the team is complete and we are waiting for a new bright basketball season!
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Ukrainian Armed Forces!!!
Only Prometey!
Only Victory!!!"
We congratulate DJ on his return and look forward to his performances in the Eurocup and Latvian-Estonian leagues together with our "Prometey"!
