Blaž Mahkovic reinforced Krka

“I am very pleased that we have once again reached an agreement on cooperation with the management of Krka. I have already worked successfully with coach Dejan Jakara in the past. I also know quite a few current members of the team, so I believe that adapting should not be too difficult. I am joining the team with the goal of giving my maximum and contributing to our shared objectives. I am looking forward to my first game in the Krka jersey and to the support of the fans at the upcoming matches,” said Blaž Mahkovic, who most recently played for Kansai Helios Domžale.

Krka’s new signing began his basketball career at Triglav Kranj, where he played between 2006 and 2009. From 2009 to 2012, he played for LTH Castings Mercator. In 2012, he moved to Domžale for the first time, where he played until 2014. Between 2014 and 2016, he was a member of Union Olimpija, while the 2016/17 season was spent with Igokea in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2017, he returned to Helios Suns, playing for them until 2018, and in the same year he also wore the Krka jersey for part of the season. Since 2018, he has been a member of the Domžale-based club.

He made his debut for the Slovenian senior national team on November 24, 2017, in a FIBA World Cup 2019 qualifying match against Belarus and has since made 16 official appearances for Slovenia. During his career, he has won the Bosnian League championship title and the Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup, both in 2017.

In addition, it’s worth noting that negotiations are currently underway with a Chinese club regarding a potential transfer of Victor Bailey.

Blaž Mahkovic okrepil Krko

Pred nadaljevanjem sezone je Krkino člansko ekipo okrepil krilni košarkar Blaž Mahkovic, ki je dres Krke v preteklosti že nosil.

“Zelo me veseli, da smo se z vodstvom Krke ponovno dogovorili za sodelovanje. S trenerjem Dejanom Jakaro sva v preteklosti že uspešno sodelovala. Poznam tudi kar nekaj sedanjih članov ekipe, zato menim, da ne bi smelo biti preveč težav s prilagajanjem. V ekipo prihajam z namenom, da dam svoj maksimum in prispevam k skupnim ciljem. Veselim se prve tekme v dresu Krke in podpore navijačev na prihajajočih tekmah,” je povedal Blaž Mahkovic, ki je nazadnje igral za Kansai Helios Domžale.

Svojo košarkarsko pot je Krkin novinec začel pri Triglavu iz Kranja, kjer je igral med letoma 2006 in 2009. Nato je med letoma 2009 in 2012 nastopal za LTH Castings Mercator. Leta 2012 je prvič prestopil v Domžale, kjer je igral do leta 2014. V obdobju od 2014 do 2016 je bil član Uniona Olimpije, sezono 2016/17 pa je preživel pri Igokei v Bosni in Hercegovini. Leta 2017 se je vrnil v Helios Suns, za katere je igral do leta 2018, istega leta pa je del sezone nosil tudi dres Krke. Od leta 2018 je bil član domžalskega kluba.

Za slovensko člansko reprezentanco je debitiral 24. novembra 2017 na kvalifikacijski tekmi za svetovno prvenstvo FIBA 2019 proti Belorusiji, za člane Slovenije pa je zbral 16 uradnih nastopov. V svoji karieri je osvojil naslov prvaka bosanske lige in pokalnega zmagovalca Bosne in Hercegovine, oba v letu 2017.

Ob tem dodajamo, da potekajo pogajanja s kitajskim klubom o morebitnem prestopu Victorja Baileyja.
