Egor Ivanovich Vyaltsev (Russian: Егор Иванович Вяльцев, born October 10, 1985) is a Russian professional basketball player for Khimki of the VTB United League. He also represents the Russian national basketball team.

Professional career

Vyaltsev has spent his entire career playing for teams in the Russian Superleague.[1] In his most recent season, 2008–09, he averaged 5.7 points per game for Triumph Lyubertsy. In June 2011 he signed a one-year contract with BC Khimki.[2]

Vyaltsev has also been a member of the senior Russian national basketball team.
