The talented player came from Giessen in the summer of 2021 and, despite initial difficulties, managed to establish himself in the team and inspire the fans. The supporters always applauded when he was on the field.

His career in Oldenburg was marked by ups and downs. Over the years, Pjanic scored 663 points and grabbed 285 rebounds in a total of 101 appearances in the BBL.

Thanks and farewell
