Former Los Angeles Clippers forward Yaroslav Korolev has signed up with Russian team Spartak St. Petersburg until the end of the season.

MOSCOW, December 28 (R-Sport) – Former Los Angeles Clippers forward Yaroslav Korolev has signed up with Russian team Spartak St. Petersburg until the end of the season.

Korolev, 25, was signed as a free agent since his contract with Spanish team Lagun Aro was terminated last month.

“We hope that Yaroslav will help us in all competitions and will be able to use the chance we give him,” Spartak sporting director Alexei Karvanen said the team's website.

Korolev won the Russian league with CSKA Moscow in 2005 before moving to the NBA as the 12th overall pick by the Clippers. He struggled for court time in L.A., making only 34 appearances and returned to Russia in 2007, to play for Dynamo Moscow.

Korolev later moved back to North America to play minor league basketball for two years.

Spartak currently stands third both in the Russian and VTB United leagues.
