The 6-foot-7 high-flyer, best known in Lexington for his thunderous dunks and brutal strength in the post, has officially re-signed with Zenit Saint Petersburg, extending his contract through the 2025–26 season with an option for one more year.
This marks Poythress’ fourth year with the club, where he already holds the all-time scoring record for foreign players (1,659 points) and ranks third in total points overall.
