During his two year stay with Milano, Abass won the league title in 2018 before moving to Germani Brescia and spending two more years there. He moved to Bologna prior to the 20202-2021 season.

Game 2 and Game 3 of the Finals Series is slated for June 5 and June 7 respectively and both teams head to the finals on the back of sweeping series wins at the semifinal stage beating Venezia and Brindisi in the process.

Finding playing time hard to come by in the regular season, Abass averaged 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds off the bench but has featured as a starter throughout the playoffs.

In his final season with Bresica, Abass averaged 14.1 points, 1.3 assists and 4.4 rebounds.
