Ilya Pestov will stay with Astana for the 2025/26 season!

Last season was a real breakthrough for the 17-year-old small forward: he took part in an NBA camp and made his debuts in both the Kazakhstan National League and the VTB United League.

He also played in the U21 Championship, averaging 12.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 25 minutes per game.

Good luck in the new season, Ilya!
