26-year-old forward Stefan Lazarevic, whose contract with the club recently expired, initialed a new, three-year deal.

"Lazarevic is a child of Crvena Zvezda, where he made his first steps in the inferior categories back in 2014. he was part of the famous generation that won the Junior EuroLeague in Milan," the clubsaid in a statement.

Lazarevic made his debut for the first team in 2014, but after a series of loans to FMP, but also injuries, he managed to get a place in the senior rotation only in the 2021-22 season.

Last season, he recorded 2.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in the EuroLeague, and 4.0 points and 2.6 rebounds in the ABA League, but he made the biggest contribution on the defensive end.

In addition to extending the contract of three players, Zvezda repatriated Dejan Davidovac and Milos Teodosic, whilst also hiring Adam Hanga, Marko Simonovic, Mike Tobey, Joel Bolomboy, Rokas Gedraitis, Shabazz Napier and Jago dos Santos.
