The ABA League side from Slovenian capital is continuing to compose its roster for the forthcoming season and it is stronger for another Slovenian international. Miha Lapornik, who finished last season at Cluj-Napoca in Romania after he played for Zlatorog, will for sure be one of the key players of Petrol Olimpija in the forthcoming seasons.
In the 2017/18 season he has appeared for Zlatorog in 10 games and was the second-best scorer of Liga Nova KBM with the scoring average of 19.1 points per game. With Cluj-Napoca he played in Romanian National Championship, as well as FIBA Europe Cup, where he averaged 9.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, while putting on 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in the domestic championship.
Lapornik stressed how delighted he was to come back to Ljubljana: „I am extremely happy to have re-joined Petrol Olimpija. With Roman Lisac we have been negotiating already ahead of the start of the 2017/18 seasonm but we did not manage to find an agreement. This time we did. I wish to help the Dragons on the way to defend the trophy of the national champions and to demonstrate as good performances in the European competition and ABA League, as possible.“

Lapornik spet v dresu Petrol Olimpije
Občasni slovenski reprezentant Miha Lapornik je novi član Petrol Olimpije. Ostrostrelec iz Celja je z ljubljanskim klubom podpisal enoletno pogodbo, dres aktualnih državnih prvakov pa je že nosil v sezoni 2015/16.
Moštvo iz slovenske prestolnice nadaljuje s sestavo igralskega kadra za sezono, dres Zmajev pa bo v sezoni 2018/19 oblekel nov košarkar s slovenskim potnim listom. Miha Lapornik, ki je minulo sezono zaključil v moštvu petkratnih romunskih državnih prvakov Cluj-Napoce, začel pa v Zlatorogu, bo v naslednji sezoni prav zagotovo eden od glavnih adutov Petrol Olimpije.
V sezoni 2017/18 je v dresu Zlatoroga zaigral na desetih tekmah in bil s povprečjem 19,1 točke na tekmo drugi najboljši strelec Lige Nova KBM. S Cluj-Napoco je na parket stopil v romunskem državnem prvenstvu in Fibinem Evropskem pokalu, kjer je na petih tekmah v povprečju dosegal 9,8 in 2,6 skoka na tekmo, v državnem prvenstvu pa na 22 tekmah 9,6 točke, 2,4 skoke in 1,7 podaje na dvoboj.
Lapornik je ob povratku v zeleno-beli dres izrazil zadovoljstvo: „Zelo vesel sem, da sem se pridružil Petrol Olimpiji. Z Romanom Liscem so pogovori potekali že pred začetkom sezone 2017/18, a se nismo uspeli najti, tokrat nam je to uspelo. Želim pomagati Zmajem na poti do ubranitve naslova državnega prvaka, hkrati pa prikazati čim boljše predstave v evropskem tekmovanju in Ligi ABA.“
