Bobi Klintman Signs With Virtus Bologna
The move offers Klintman a clearer roster role at a club that will register him for his first EuroLeague season.
Overview
- Virtus Bologna announced the signing of 23-year-old forward Bobi Klintman, and the club will enter him into EuroLeague competition for the coming season.
- Klintman was a 37th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and was immediately traded to the Detroit Pistons, where he made 20 NBA appearances across two seasons.
- Most of Klintman’s recent minutes came in the G‑League, where he averaged 12.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 26.2 minutes across 28 games last season.
- Before the NBA he played professionally in Sweden and for the Cairns Taipans in Australia and spent one collegiate season at Wake Forest, a path that shaped his international appeal.
- The move shifts Klintman from chasing marginal NBA minutes to a high-visibility role in Europe and gives Virtus a young forward to develop as the club looks to improve its EuroLeague standing.
