“Agu” pays for repeated injuries, Ambrosin Sanders also leaving for confirmation, Cannon requested by A2 club
TORTONA
The first Bertram cut arrives. The Tortona company announces that it has exercised the option to leave the contract of the Italian-Argentine Augustin Fabi, now free to find a new accommodation. His farewell opens the negotiations for the entry market of A1’s freshman. Automatically renewed, by virtue of the promotion, with Jamarr Sanders, while it is about extending the expiring agreement with the other American Jalen Cannon, even if the player has been contacted by several A2 companies. The Piedmontese management then spoke with two veterans of the A1 series, already in Pesaro, or Ariel Filloy, now a free agent, and Tyler Cain, who by 15 July can exit the contract that binds him until 2022 with the Marche. Ambrosin will hardly stay, the winger is looking for a team that points on him as a protagonist in A2. Mascolo and Severini are sure to stay, Tavernelli has a good chance, Lorenzo D’Ercole’s confirmation is difficult.
Conditioned by injuries
Returning to Fabi, penalized by some injuries that did not give him the opportunity to play continuously, he has always been a point of reference in the decisive moments: the best match of the finals against Turin in race 2. Arriving in Tortona last year, the first new face of the 2020/21 team, Fabi was among the protagonists of the ride that led the Bertram Derthona in A1 for the first time in its history. “Agu” wore the number 10 jersey of the Juventus Club in 41 matches – divided among all competitions – contributing to 27 seasonal victories. In the promotion playoffs he averaged 10.7 points, proving particularly decisive in game 1 of the quarterfinals with Ravenna (season high at 21 points), in game 3 on the Eurobasket Rome field (17 points) and in the second match with Turin ( 15 points on the scoresheet). “My relationship with the club after a wonderful year has remained excellent, it was a decision taken while maintaining a good relationship”, comments the Italian-Argentine. –
