French forward Mickael Gelabale signed an agreement with Croatian Euroleague participant Cedevita Zagreb.

Matej Mamić, Cedevita's General Manager, did fullfill the wish of legendary coach Božidar Maljković, who did insist on Gelabale's signing due to the fact that the two did succesfully cooperate togehter for two years with Real Madrid in the past. In the Euroleague, the Croatian squad is in a group with Olympiacos (Greece), Caja Laboral (Spain), Anadolu Efes Istanbul (Turkey), Zalgiris Kaunas (Lithuania) and EA7 Emporio Armani Milano (Italy).
