Utah Flash News Release
OREM, Utah, Jan. 6, 2009 - Utah Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor announced today that the team has assigned second-year center Kyrylo Fesenko to the Utah Flash of the NBA Development League. He is expected to be in uniform tonight as the Flash hosts the Anaheim Arsenal at 7:15 p.m. as part of the NBA D-League Showcase.
In 10 games this season (one start) the 7-1, 278 pound Fesenko has averages of 2.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.3 assists. Fesenko has been inactive 13 times this season and DNP-CD 12 games. His best outing of the season came at Houston on December 12 when he picked up his first career double-double, scoring 12 points with 11 rebounds in 34 minutes of action.
Fesenko played in 37 games on assignment to the Flash in 2007-08, averaging 25.6 minutes, 10.1 points and 7.7 rebounds. He was selected to play in the 2008 NBA D-League All-Star Game
Originally selected by Philadelphia in the second round (38th overall selection) of the 2007 NBA Draft, the Jazz acquired Fesenko's rights in a draft night deal that sent the draft rights to Herbert Hill (55th overall pick) and trade considerations to the 76ers.
Fesenko, the third assigned player on the Flash roster this season, will wear jersey number 44 for the Flash. He will join forward Bill Walker and guard J.R. Giddens who are on assignment from the Boston Celtics.
