With the signing of Mattia Mastroianni the Knights complete their starting lineup. Born in Naples, he took his first steps in the world of basketball in his hometown, moving to Chieti in DNA in 2012-13; he then moved to Castelfiorentino, then to Martina Franca, and finally to Falconara. In 2016-2017 he returned to Naples, still in Serie B, where he did not fail to contribute in the winning ride, which led to promotion to A2, as well as to the victory of the Coppa Italia.
The following year he was confirmed by the Neapolitan team. In the summer of 2018 he transferred to Viola Reggio Calabria where he remained until December and then in January 2019 he moved to Orzinuovi, which led the Lombard team to promotion to Serie A2 that year. In the 2019/20 season he played in Serie B in Palestrina, closing the season, interrupted by the health emergency, then he was at Virtus Kleb Ragusa, and continued his career in Serie B with Ruvo di Puglia, Roseto, Salerno and Piacenza in the last season.
GM Basilico’s comment: “With Mastroianni we complete the starting five and I would say that the contribution that Mattia can give is very important.
Having already won trophies and achieved promotions gives us security of experience for the team, while his figures from last season place him among the best for his role. We are now at 80% of the roster; There are still only a couple of players left to complete the 2024-2025 team.” Mastroianni will play with the Knights’ number 35 shirt
