Gatis Linins, a friend of the former Latvian basketball player Janis Timma, said that the striker due to the scandalous reputation of the singer Anna Sedokova did not go to the VTB Unified League club.

Timma on the night of December 17 was discovered dead in the entrance of a five -story building in the center of Moscow. According to preliminary data, he committed suicide. Timma on December 9 officially divorced Sedokova. They were married for four years, they did not have common children.

– I was confirmed that close negotiations were held with several teams of the VTB United League about the possibility of Janis to play for one of them after the New Year. And also I received confirmation that one of the restraining factors to take Janis to the team, was Anna Sedokova’s scandalous reputation. Professional teams want to take a player concentrated on basketball by 100%, and not on family intrigues, ”Lininsh wrote in social networks.

The last professional club of Timma was the Spanish “Okaduro”, for which the player spoke in the second half of the season – 2023/24. In Russia, Timma played for Zenit, Khimki and UNICS.
