Awudu Abass signed a contract extension with Virtus Segafredo Bologna, the Italian team announced.

The 30-year-old Abass agreed to a 1-year extension that will keep him in Virtus until the end of the 2023-24 season.

Abass joined Virtus in 2020, but his stint has been plagued with injuries so far. Since joining Virtus, Abass has played only 28 games in the EuroCup and EuroLeague combined.

In September 2021, Abass suffered a tear to the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee. He then went on to miss 16 months of action, making his return on January 29, 2023.

Last season, Abass averaged 6.7 points, 1.0 rebound, and 5.7 PIR in 7 EuroLeague games for Virtus.
