David Škara se seli iz Splita v Ljubljano

Na visokih igralnih položajih bo članska ekipa Cedevite Olimpije v sezoni 2025/26 močnejša za 205 centimetrov visokega, 30-letnega Davida Škaro, ki v Ljubljano prihaja iz Splita.

Na položaju krilnega centra se je Cedevita Olimpija pred začetkom tekmovalne sezone 2025/26 okrepila s 30-letnim in 205 centimetrov visokim Davidom Škaro. Slednji je svojo kariero kot najstnik začel v Zadru, študiral je v Združenih državah Amerike, pred sezono 2024/25, ki jo je preživel v Splitu, pa izkušnje pridobival v Španiji in Franciji.

"Vesel in izjemno hvaležen sem za priložnost, da zaigram za Cedevito Olimpijo. Komaj čakam, da se pridružim ekipi in odigram prve tekme," je ob podpisu pogodbe z ljubljanskim klubom povedal David Škara.

Svojo košarkarsko pot je David Škara začel v Zadru, kjer je nastopal za ekipe mlajših starostnih kategorij dalmatinskega kluba, sledila pa je selitev v Združene države Amerike, kjer je na univerzitetni ravni nosil dres dveh ekip, Valparaiso Beacons (Indiana) in Clemons Tigers (Južna Karolina). Pred začetkom sezone 2019/20 se je vrnil v Evropo, kjer je najprej igral za španski kolektiv Levitec Huesca, nato pa, vse do selitve v Split leta 2024, nastopal v Franciji.

V drugi francoski ligi je nosil drese Denaina, Nancyja in Champagne Basketa, v prvi ligi pa je zaigral za ESSM Le Portel v sezoni 2021/22. Pred začetkom sezone 2024/25 se je nato preseli k Splitu, za katerega je v AdmiralBet Ligi ABA zaigral na 29 tekmah in v povprečju dosegal 12,5 točke, 5,8 skokov in 1,7 asistence na tekmo. Škara je bil 14. najboljši skakalec v regionalni ligi v sezoni, ki je za nami, obenem pa za Shannonom Shorterjem drugi najbolje ocenjeni posameznik Splita v sezoni.
