We thank Kenneth for his dedication, commitment, the energy he brought," said Dimitris Itoudis in the statement. "It took a little time for him to make certain adjustments, but he definitely became a part of our team. We wish him the best. It is always a privilege to get to know and to work with such a character and player."

"Thank you for having me, it was amazing - the organization, coaches, and people of CSKA Moscow," said Faried. "I wish I could have stayed the whole season, but it's a business, and I understand that!"

"The team is healthy, it will continue to grow and get better, I'm sure, but who knows what the future may hold, I pray and wish the best for everyone! Spasibo! Go Red-Blue Army!" he added.
