The Lips started the season in the ranks of Botevgrad Balkan, the reigning champion of Bulgarian basketball, but at the beginning of the calendar year the team changed coach and the Estonian was not part of the plans of the new coach Nebojsa Kneževici. Lips, 27 years old, has found a new employer in the country of the boot.
Lips moved to Chieti, a team he also represented in the 2021-2022 season. At that time, the Estonian played seven games in the club’s uniform, where he averaged eight points and four rebounds. At the time, Chieti was in the Premier League, but in the meantime the team was relegated to a lower level.
If on paper the third strongest Italian championship may seem like a strange choice, in recent months the Latvians Kristaps Gluditis and Marcis Vitols have moved there, having shone in the Paf championship. According to rumors, Serie B clubs can offer significantly higher salaries than Estonian and Latvian clubs.
Chieti was also the first foreign club in Lipsu’s career. The two-metre Estonian has worn the colors of Rapla Avis Utilitas, Rakvere Tarva, Pärnu Sadama, Tallinna Kalevi and most recently Viims in his homeland.
