Serbian basketball player Aleksije Pokuševski signed with the Russian VTB League team Lokomotiv Kuban following his time with Partizan Belgrade. Head coach Tomislav Tomović described Pokuševski as an “extremely talented young player who fits perfectly into Lokomotiv’s philosophy,” noting that the move would provide the player with increased playing time. Pokuševski later revealed that he had held serious discussions with major Greek basketball teams during the summer transfer window. However, he ultimately chose Lokomotiv Kuban because he prioritized securing a significant on-court role over high salaries or fame, stating he did not feel the level of trust regarding his specific role was sufficient with the Greek clubs. Additionally, Pokuševski expressed interest in obtaining a Greek passport due to his formative years spent in the country’s academies and his personal ties to Greece. In a recent development, Pokuševski officially obtained a Greek passport, describing the naturalization as a “logical evolution” stemming from his deep personal connections to the country, including a home there and a Greek fiancée. He clarified that this decision is unrelated to basketball or national team eligibility. Reflecting on his career, Pokuševski noted dissatisfaction with his previous tenure at Partizan, seeking an environment where he would be more utilized. He also mentioned that a return to the NBA remains a realistic possibility given his age and experience.
