PITTSBURGH — On Friday night against Murray State, Pitt wing Amsal Delalic will be in uniform for Pitt for the first time of his collegiate career.
Check out video from the Pete of Delalic warming up ahead of the game.
Delalic, a 6-foot-8 Bosnian wing, is a freshman at Pitt. He missed several weeks of practice, as well as Pitt’s opening game against Radford, due to a right hand injury suffered in practice.
At the time of Delalic’s injury, Capel provided some words on the rookie via a press release.
“Amsal’s injury is a tough setback, but one we certainly expect him to make a full recovery from,” Capel said. “We are excited about what we have seen from Amsal throughout the offseason and eager to have him back at full strength.”
Pitt’s 21-year-old freshman is coming off a season in which he averaged 13.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in the top Bosnian professional league. He shot an even 40% from three-point range last year, going 82 for 205 from beyond the arch.
Then, this spring, he visited Pitt, and shortly after, committed to the Panthers’ program.
Earlier this summer, in an interview on The Pittsburgh Basketball Show, Delalic broke down his thoughts on European Vs. American basketball.
