The 35-year-old accounted for 12 of CSKA's points, and was with the fourth best in the team.

Jerebko had been clubless for over a year when he announced that he had signed for CSKA Moscow for the rest of the season.

The reason for the controversial choice of club was that he wanted to get in shape for this summer's World Cup qualifiers.

But the Swedish Basketball Association decided instead to stop him from national team games.

- There is a total consensus on how we relate to Russia, where there are no doubts, said the basketball association's general secretary Fredrik Joulamo to TT.
