"In two and a half memorable seasons with ALBA, I have learned to appreciate the club's philosophy and sincerity, as well as the traditionally good team chemistry," Koumadje said. "I'm already looking forward to the coming season and seeing our fans again in the Mercedes-Benz Arena."

The 2.21-meter center from Chad came to ALBA halfway through the 2020-21 campaign.

Since then, Koumadje has constantly developed in terms of play. He averaged 6.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 7.7 PIR over 31 EuroLeague games last season.

"We are pleased that we were able to extend Christ Koumadje's contract for three years," Himar Ojeda, ALBA sports director, said. "When we brought Christ in the middle of the 2020-21 season, we took a risk, because before that, it hadn't worked out for him in two teams in a short time. But we saw Christ's potential and believed in him. Our trust was rewarded: Christ has developed very well in the two and a half years with us."
