I can progress at the club as a player and as a person. In joining Cedevita Olimpija, I see only positive things. I can’t wait to wear the Dragons jersey, but at the same time I can’t wait for the support of the fans from the stands.”

Nadarjeni Dan Duščak prihaja v Ljubljano

V Cedevita Olimpijo se iz španske prestolnice seli mladi nadarjeni slovenski košarkar Dan Duščak, ki bo v Ljubljani ostal prihodnje štiri sezone.

Dan Duščak, mladi in nadarjeni slovenski košarkar, ki bo 2. julija dopolnil 18 let, se iz kraljevskega Real Madrida seli v Cedevito Olimpijo. Sin nekdanjega Zmaja Slavka Duščaka, je z ljubljanskim moštvom podpisal štiriletno pogodbo, Dan pa se je že pridružil treningom članskega moštva Ljubljančanov.

Duščak se je leta 2017 v Madrid preselil iz domačega KK Grosuplje in prestal košarkarsko šolo madridskega kluba. Leta 2019 se je mladi Duščak pridružil pripravam članskega moštva Real Madrida in med drugim na pripravljalnih tekmah v sklopu priprav na sezono 2019/20, tudi debitiral v dresu kraljevskega kluba.

V svoji mladi karieri se je Duščak dvakrat že predstavil na Adidasovem turnirju prihodnje generacije, ki ga organizira Evroliga. V sezoni 2018/19 je zaigral na osmih tekmah in skupno dosegel 16 točk, sezono kasneje pa je na štirih tekmah v povprečju beležil 6,8 točke.

Leta 2017 je Duščak zaigral na evropskem prvenstvu divizije A za fante do 16. leta, in na sedmih tekmah v malo več kot devetih minutah, ki jih je preživel na parketu, dosegal 2,9 točke, 1,7 skoke in 0,6 asistence.

Ob prihodu v Ljubljano je Duščak dejal: „Občutki so odlični. Podpis pogodbe s Cedevito Olimpijo je velika stvar zame osebno in za mojo družino. V klubu lahko napredujem kot igralec in kot oseba. Ob pridružitvi Cedeviti Olimpiji vidim zgolj pozitivne stvari. Komaj čakam, da oblečem dres Zmajev, hkrati pa komaj čakam tudi podporo navijačev s tribun.“
