Marko Filipovity is FlaBasquete's fifth signing for the 23/24 season. Standing at 2,04m tall and aged 27 (July 30.07.1996, XNUMX), the Hungarian arrives to fill the red-black paint and space the court with his accurate three-point shots.

Marko began his basketball career in his home country at age 17 and remained there for six seasons. In 2020, he transferred to Carpegna Pesaro, part of the Italian basketball elite, where he averaged 12.8 points and 6 rebounds per game. After Italy, the center played in the Spanish and Turkish top divisions before arriving at Niners Chemnitz in Germany, where he played in the 22/23 season, averaging 11.6 points and 2.2 rebounds—along with an incredible 40% shooting percentage from the perimeter.

From a young age, Marko was a regular call-up for Hungary's youth national team, having played in the U-18 and U-20 Euros. He then played in the senior Euros. For the senior national team in 22/23, he averaged 16 points in two matches in the Basketball World Cup qualifiers.

In his first message to the Nation, Marko expressed his eagerness to come to Flamengo.

"I'm so excited to come to the club and have a great time with you all. See you soon!"

"Flamengo has been raising the bar in Brazilian basketball significantly. Having Diego Jeleilate, Director of National Teams for the Brazilian Basketball Confederation, on our board allows us to seek outside-the-box reinforcements. Our Intelligence Center is working on assembling the current roster. Marko is a European-standard star. He has everything it takes to become another idol for the Red-Black Nation," said Guilherme Kroll, the club's vice president of Olympic Sports.

Marko Filipovity joins Olivinha, Maique, Gabriel Jaú, Gui Deodato, Loku Cuello, Didi Louzada, Scott Machado, Franco Balbi, Felipe Motta, Matheus Leoni and Emanuel, in addition to coach Gustavo De Conti, as the confirmed names in the red-black squad for 23/24.
