Ristic, who finished up a four-year Arizona career in 2018, averaged 13.0 points and 6.9 rebounds over 10 games last season for Avtodor of the VTB (Russian) League. He earlier averaged 10.9 rebounds and 6.0 rebounds for Brescia in Italy's Serie A before leaving in midseason in part because of a coaching change.
Ristic signed a three-year deal with the Red Star in Belgrade, Serbia after leaving UA in 2018 but the Serbian club loaned him to Astana of the VTB in 2019-20 and Brescia bought out the final year of his contract in 2020-21. Avtodor gave him an offer to finish last season back in Russia.
In a Twitter post, Ristic thanked Fuenlabrada fans.
"I'm excited for next season and I can't wait to get to Spain and start working toward our team goals," Ristic said.
