Cedevita Olimpija continues to strengthen its senior team for the start of the 2022/23 season. At the point guard position, the Ljubljana team strengthened its ranks with Lovro Gnjidić, a 197-centimeter-tall player who wore the jersey of Cibona last season. Gnjidić will remain in Ljubljana at least until the end of the 2023/24 season.
“I am looking forward to coming to Cedevita Olimpija. I think it's definitely a step forward for me to join such a tough team. I know that practices with coach Golemac are great and my goal is to improve as much as possible during this season and of course to make the best possible result,” said Gnjidić upon joining Cedevita Olimpija.
Lovro Gnjidić spent his entire basketball career in Zagreb's Cibona. He grew up within the club's junior teams from the Croatian capital, and in 2020 he also began his professional career there. In the 2021/22 season, Gnjidić appeared in 25 AdmiralBet ABA League matches. He spent an average of 21.6 minutes on the floor, scoring 5.6 points, 3.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds.
