Bandja Sy tem um novo clube. O ala francês assinou um contrato de três meses com o Lietkabelis depois de o vínculo curto com o Partizan se encerrar, confirmou o clube lituano.
Sy tem 36 anos e chega para cobrir um garrafão atingido por lesões.
Sua segunda passagem por Belgrado começou no fim de setembro — ele já havia jogado ali em 2018-19 — e rendeu oito partidas em todas as competições, cinco delas na Euroliga, antes de o contrato expirar em 28 de outubro.
A melhor dessas noites foi contra o Bayern de Munique: cinco pontos em apenas 11 minutos. Na Liga ABA, ele marcou 15 contra Viena.
Antes daquele retorno a Belgrado, Sy estava na Romênia com o CSM Oradea, onde suas médias no campeonato nacional eram de 8.4 pontos e 3.4 rebotes. Antes disso vieram duas temporadas no Paris Basketball, com o título da EuroCup de 2024 e 35 jogos na Euroliga no ano seguinte.
