Released from a French prison, Kasatkin became a player for the Yenisei basketball team.
The basketball club of the VTB United League “Yenisei” announced the signing of a contract with attacking defender Daniil Kasatkin.
The contract with the 26-year-old player runs until the end of the 2026/27 season. On Thursday, Kasatkin was released from a French prison and returned to his homeland. According to the FSB, the Russian was exchanged for a French citizen, who was accused of espionage in Russia.
– I’m glad that we will cooperate. Daniil is in the best years of his career and can help the team a lot. We understand that he will need time to adapt after a difficult period, and we will gradually increase the load. I am sure that signing a contract with him is an excellent decision for both parties,” said Yenisey head coach Jovica Arsic.
In the 2024/25 season, the average statistics of Kasatkin, who played for MBA-MAI, were 6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.4 steals in 18 minutes on the court.
After 20 matches with eight wins and 12 losses, Enisey is in seventh place in the VTB United League.
In June 2025, Kasatkin was arrested in France at the request of the United States. He was suspected of participating in a hacker network engaged in extortion.

“I don’t eat fast food, exclude snacks, and drink a lot of still water.” Egor Demin spoke about his diet
Russian point guard for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, Yegor Demin, spoke about his diet.
The Russian is spending his first season in the NBA. The Nets selected him eighth overall in the 2025 draft.
— I have my own diet and nutrition regimen. This is important given the schedule and goal of bulking and recovery. My position and that of the staff who is responsible for this is to take the maximum from ordinary products.
I don’t eat fast food, exclude snacks, and drink a lot of still water. We have excellent food at the training center, you can always have a snack before or after training.
I also visit my favorite restaurants, buy or order products where I am satisfied with the quality. For example, I buy dairy products at a farm store.
Well, during the period when my mother is here in New York, she cooks me my favorite home-cooked food. We went to a store that sold Russian products and bought a lot of things.
My favorite dishes are my mother’s homemade borscht, mushroom soup, homemade cutlets, cheesecakes. I love buckwheat very much, it is sold only in Russian stores.
And for the New Year, of course, as an exception, we couldn’t do without our favorite Olivier,” Demin wrote in the Telegram channel.
