Vitaly Fridzon will substitute Thomas Heurtel at the All Star Game

Vitaly Fridzon will travel to the VTB League All Star Game instead of his partner Thomas Heurtel who got injured and can’t participate himself. The upcoming ASG will be the fourth for Vitaly who also participated in the events back in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

In 2021, Fridzon scored 57 points and got the MVP award of the All Star Game. Back then, the sharpshooter nailed 16 three-pointers, which is actually not surprising ’cause in 2019 and 2020, two times in a row Fridzon won the three-point contest at the ASG. Both times, the Russian basketball legend donated all the prize money to charity, as it was in 2021, when he donated 500 000 rubles that he received for the title of the Most valuable player.
