Andrei Kirilenko returns to Russia after being waived by 76ers

Former NBA All Star Andrei Kirilenko has signed for CSKA Moscow in his native Russia after being waived by the Philadelphia 76ers.

Kirilenko last played on Nov. 13 for the Brooklyn Nets before being traded to the 76ers, who waived him after last week's trade deadline.

He says in a statement that at 34, ''the time has come to think about ending my career at the professional level'' and that he wants to do that at CSKA.
