Overview
- Virtus Bologna announced on July 2, 2026 that it had reached a multi-year agreement with 23-year-old Swedish forward Bobi Klintman.
- Klintman was a second‑round pick (37th overall) in the 2024 NBA Draft and was traded to the Detroit Pistons on draft night.
- He played just 20 NBA games across two seasons for Detroit, totaling 113 minutes before the Pistons waived him late in the 2025/26 regular season to clear a roster spot for Tolu Smith.
- Klintman established his recent on‑court value with the Motor City Cruise in the 2025/26 G League, averaging 12.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals in 28 games while shooting .466/.390/.730.
- Virtus adds Klintman as it looks to improve its EuroLeague showing after a 14–24 campaign and a domestic semifinal exit, and the move gives Klintman a clearer path to regular minutes and development in top European competition.
