Bolomboy has been a member of CSKA Moscow since 2018. He won the EuroLeague (2019) and two VTB United League (2019, 2021) titles during his time with the squad.

The 28-year-old big man was one of the first CSKA players to leave the team after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and did not return despite the threats he received.

The 2.06-meter American/Congolese recorded averages of 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.7 PIR per game in almost 16 minutes of EuroLeague action last season.

Prior to his four-year tenure in Europe, Bolomboy accumulated his experience across the Atlantic. The 52nd overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft split time between the Utah Jazz (2016-17) and Milwaukee Bucks (2017-18) in a two-season span.

He holds NBA career averages of 1.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in just 18 games.
