Filip Bundović returns to Cibona

Filip Bundović is ready to start his 3rd stint with Cibona as he joined the Wolves for the rest of the season.

Bundović has previously played for the Zagreb giant from 2018 to 2021 when he helped the club win the 2019 Croatian championship, while he then returned to the club for the 2022/23 season. Last year, he suffered a shoulder injury that sidelined him for almost a year, but he is now ready to return on court and help the Wolves in the rest of the 2023/24 campaign.

“Surely Filip will mean a lot to us, especially under the basket. As for his form, he is getting better day by day and I believe his athletic form will peak quite soon. He played his last game in April last year, but he is working hard every day and has a huge desire to improve his form as soon as possible. Filip is an experienced player, while he has already showed his qualities during his previous stints in Cibona when he had some great performances,” said Cibona head coach Dino Repeša.

Bundović is satisfied with the his recovery process, although he regrets that he did not undergo the necessary surgery earlier, which is why everything took so long.

"After almost a one-year break, I had a small crisis because I wasn't sure what the shoulder would look like and what condition it would be in. However, I did quality rehabilitation with our physiotherapist Sandra, and I got that shoulder in good condition. Maybe I was a little late and I should have had the operation earlier, but everything went well at the end. As for the team, I know them all and the guys accepted me well. Coach Repesa is working a lot on the details and I believe that it will all be good, and that we will make the best possible result,” said Filip Bundović.

Filip Bundović se vratio u dres Vukova

Rotacija Cibone bit će šira u nastavku sezone, Filip Bundović odradio je prve treninge s momčadi nakon dužeg izbivanja s parketa.

U ekipu Vukova vratilo se staro lice, a riječ je o Filipu Bundoviću koji je zbog ozljede izbivao jedan duži period. Vukovi, koji domaće prvenstvo ove sezone igraju sa skraćenim rosterom, dobili su tako pravo pojačanje.

Dino Repeša, trener KK Cibone, zadovoljan je jer u Filipu dobiva jednog, prije svega, iskusnog igrača.

‘Uspjeli smo riješiti tu papirologiju za njegove nastupe. Sigurno da će nam jako puno značiti u domaćem prvenstvu gdje smo hendikepirani, on će nam tu puno pomoći, specijalno pod košem. Što se tiče njegove forme, diže se iz dana u dan i vjerujem da će njegova sportska forma postić vrhunac prilično brzo. Zadnju utakmicu je odigrao prošle godine u četvrtom mjesecu, ali radi svakodnevno naporno ima ogromnu želju i volju da što prije digne svoju formu. Iskusan je igrač, pokazao je svoje kvalitete prethodno u Ciboni gdje je zabilježio odlične partije.’ - rekao je Repeša.

Bundović je zadovoljan odrađenom rehabilitacijom, iako žali što ranije nije otišao na potrebnu operaciju zbog čega se sve i odužilo.

‘Nakon skoro godinu dana pauze, imao sam jednu malu krizu jer nisam bio siguran kako će rame izgledati, u kakvom će biti stanju. Međutim, odradio sam s našim fizioterapeutom Sandrom jednu kvalitetnu rehabilitaciju, i doveo sam to rame u dobro stanje. Možda jesam malo zakasnio, operacija ta je trebala biti ranije, ali sve je dobro prošlo i sretan sam zbog toga. Što se tiče ekipe, imamo problem s dvije različite ekipe zbog registracije, ali dečki su me dobro prihvatili, više manje ih znam sve. Trener Repeša radi puno na detaljima, i vjerujem da će to sve biti dobro, da će se stanje u klubu riješiti i da se skupimo svi i napravimo što bolji rezultat.’ - rekao je Filip po povratku.
