Before the start of the new season, the club handed over Todorovich's priority renewal rights.
On September 26, he had come to China from Europe, and returned to Tianjin on October 10 after completing the isolation and starting the relevant procedures.
The club also stated that Todorovich is a very dedicated foreign aid.
During the epidemic at the beginning of the year, he tried every means to return to China from Europe to train with the team and wait for news of the rematch.
But at that time the semi-finals were far away, and there was an epidemic in Europe. He was very worried about his wife in Spain. The club understood his feelings and asked him to go home to take care of his family.
Before leaving, Todorovich left a word: As long as the team needs me, I will definitely come back.
Before the start of the semi-finals, Todorovich wanted to go back to China with more than enough energy but was unable to make the trip.
He never forgets to watch the team's game videos in Europe and sends messages to his teammates to encourage him.
Although he failed to compete with everyone, his heart was always tied to the team.
In the 2019-20 season, Todorovich played in 24 games, averaging 22.7 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block per game.
This return has relieved the pressure on the inside line for the Tianjin Men's Basketball Team and also liberated Shi Deshuai, allowing him to focus more on scoring.
