It is a very sad day today. Our beloved friend and team-mate Emil Isovic was not from last week's tragic accident. Our thoughts go out to his family, relatives and all who learned to know Emil through the years.

Emil was determined to succeed with his basketball. He came to the Malbas at the high school and suspended from Kristianstad a couple of days a week, just to give themselves the chance to become a better basketball player. He moved to Malmö and continued at Malmö Basketgymnasium. Emil was very talented, full of energy and left no one indifferent. We are many who have had the privilege to get to know Emil as a player, and leader in the club and got to experience his warm personality. He has now torn away from us far too early. He will always be in our hearts.”
