Vrnitev Mirka Mulalića v ljubljanski dres
Moštvo Cedevite Olimpije je močnejše za ljubljanskega košarkarja Mirka Mulalića, otroka ljubljanskega kluba, ki bo po dveh sezonah znova oblekel dres Zmajev.
K ljubljanskim Zmajem se po dveh sezonah, ki jih je preživel v dresu Sixt Primorske in bolgarskega Balkana, vrača otrok kluba iz slovenske prestolnice, Mirko Mulalić. 31-letni in 195 centimetrov visoki ljubljanski ostrostrelec je s Cedevito Olimpijo podpisal dveletno pogodbo.
Svojo košarkarsko pot je Mirko Mulalić začel prav pri takratni Union Olimpiji, svojo prvo priložnost v dresu članske ekipe pa dobil v sezoni 2007/08. Kasneje je nastopal za moštva kot so Triglav Kranj, Škofja Loka, Velike Lašče, Grosuplje, Hopsi Polzela, Krka, Sixt Primorska in Balkan Botevgrad.
V minuli sezoni je z Balkanom postal bolgarski državni prvak, klub pa je poleg bolgarskega državnega prvenstva, nastopal še v FIBA Europe Cupu. V slednjem je Mulalić zaigral na 13 tekmah in v 26,6 minutah igre dosegal 8,1 točko, 3,2 podaji in 2,2 skoka na obračun.
Mirko Mulalić je ob podpisu pogodbe z Ljubljančani sijal od zadovoljstva ob povratku: „Rad bi se zahvalil celotnemu vodstvu Cedevite Olimpije, seveda tudi trenerju Slavenu Rimcu. Zelo sem vesel, da sem se vrnil v Zmajevo gnezdo. Z veseljem čakam, da se vse skupaj prične.“
