MZT Skopje Aerodrom pen deal with Keandre Cook until the end of the season

MZT Skopje Aerodrom have made a major change in their roster for the rest of the season. The team from Skopje parted ways with Adem Mekić, while they signed a contract with American shooting guard Keandre Cook.

MZT Skopje Aerodrom announced that the club accepted Mekić’s request to terminate the contract as his desire is to continue his career abroad.

The club from Skopje reacted instantly and signed a contract with Keandre Cook who is coming to MZT Skopje Aerodrom from the French team ADA Blois where he averaged 9 points and 3.1 rebounds.

Cook studied at the Odessa College (2016-2018) and at the Missouri State University (2018-2020). In his senior year he averaged 14.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.

After finishing his studies, Cook joined NBA G League Greensboro Swarm in 2021, while then he moved to Europe to play the 2021/22 season for the Hungarian team Szedeák.

As we have previously mentioned, he spent the first part of the 2022/23 season in France where he played for ADA Blois.

Cook should arrive in Skopje today, while he might make his AdmiralBet ABA league debut next week when his team face Partizan Mozzart Bet on the road in Round 15.
