Welcome back, BJ!

American forward Robert "BJ" Johnson has joined the Lokomotiv Kuban roster once again.

Johnson previously played for our team – he has 23 games for Loko in the 2024/25 VTB United League. His average performance in those games was 12.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 22:12 of playing time.

We are glad to welcome BJ back to Krasnodar and wish him to return to the court as soon as possible!

BJ's contract has already been signed, and we are waiting him to arrive to Russia. He must undergo a comprehensive examination in Moscow, followed by our medical check in Krasnodar. If the results are as expected, the contract will come into effect. There's no doubt about Johnson's importance to our team: he's a quality, agile small forward with experience in the VTB United League and with Lokomotiv. He will definitely help us expand our rotation and improve the quality of our play, including on defense. We wish BJ success in completing all his examinations and a fast reunion with our team!

Alexey Pegushin, the Vice President at Lokomotiv Kuban PBC
