Defending champion KK Crvena zvezda Meridianbet Beograd (KLS) loans 24-year old Serbian international 211cm center Filip Petrusev (college: Gonzaga) from Olympiacos for new season.

He helped them to win the cup and make to league final. Petrusev also played 22 games in Euroleague where he had 6.3ppg and 3.3rpg. He contributed to his team making it to the Euroleague Final Four.

Three years ago (a year after he left the college) he was drafted by Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) in second round (50th overall). Petrusev attended Gonzaga University until 2020 and it will be his fifth season in pro basketball.
He has been also a member of Serbian international program for some years. Petrusev has regularly played for Serbian senior team since 2021 and previously for U19 National Team in 2019.
