After the injury suffered by Awudu Abass, Virtus decided to go back on the market to replace the Italian forward.

As reported by Emiliano Carchia of Sportando, Isaia Cordinier will be the new member of the team.

Several EuroLeague and Eurocup clubs followed the former Nanterre swingman in the past few months, but he gave priority to the NBA market.

After the decision made by the Brooklyn Nets to not extend him an offer and making him an unrestricted free agent, Cordinier looked back again to the European market.

The French player averaged 15.8 points while shooting 44.5% from three-point in last season's Eurocup. The deal is expected to include an NBA out, a source told Basketnews.

Virtus Bologna recently added former NBA forward JaKarr Sampson to replace Ekpe Udoh, who suffered a severe knee injury.
