Brandon Young will also be there on Thursday evening at the PalaPirastu in Cagliari for the match against Bindisi (8.30pm) valid for the 1st Sardinia Cup. The American point guard with a Bulgarian passport was called up to face the absence of the injured Kaze Kajami-Keane.

The new foreign player has passed his medical and is training with the team. With a physique and movement more like a guard than a point guard (he's 193cm tall), Young has the necessary experience and good ball control to play alongside both Monaldi and Grande.

Also returning to the court for the friendly is big man Bryce Nze, a versatile player, including defense and rebounding, who fits in well with any teammate. Brindisi, coached by Brienza, will face a longtime Dinamo opponent: point guard Andrea Cinciarini, formerly of Reggio Emilia and Milan, who holds the Italian record for total assists.
