The 6-foot-8 forward from Slovakia brings experience and versatility to Miami.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – University of Miami men’s basketball head coach Jai Lucas announced Friday afternoon the signing of Timotej Malovec.
Malovec, a 6-foot-8, 180-pound forward from Slovakia, comes to Miami after playing overseas for Mega Superbet in the ABA League First Division.
“Timotej is an extremely versatile player who can not only attack the basket, but also be a threat from the perimeter,” Lucas said. “His maturity and experience playing overseas make him a great fit for our program and we cannot wait for him to get to Miami.”
In 2024-25, Malovec averaged 6.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, while shooting 36.5 percent from 3-point range for Mega Superbet.
Malovec has represented Slovakia at both the Senior and Youth National Team level, most recently competing in the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket Qualifiers. Malovec averaged 8.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in six games played.
In the 2022 FIBA U18 European Championship Division B, Malovec tallied 16.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per contest.
