Mario Hezonja opting in
Michael Scotto: Portland Trail Blazers guard Mario Hezonja will exercise his $1.98 million player option for the 2021-22 season, league sources told @hoopshype.
The dinner featured players from several Balkan countries: Serbia (Nikola Jokic and Boban Marjanovic), Slovenia (Luka Doncic, Goran Dragic and Vlatko Cancar) and Montenegro (Nikola Vucevic). Ivica Zubac and Mario Hezonja (Croatia) and Jusuf Nurkić (Bosnia and Herzegovina) weren’t there the first night, but they joined the group the next day for brunch and then two days later for a second dinner.
On that first night, the group longed for familiarity and comfort — and a little bit of fun. Dinner turned into drinks. Drinks turned into playing music from their phones while locking arms and belting Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian songs, including “Slavija” by Džej and “Ne Moze Nam Niko Nista” by Mitar Miric, seemingly every few minutes. They weren’t the only players unwinding by going out and eating and drinking in the bubble that night, but they were certainly the loudest. “We transformed the restaurant to a club,” Dragić said.
The quick-witted banter was led by Jokić and Marjanović, the two entertainers of the rowdy bunch. “Jokić is a jokester,” Zubac told The Athletic. “He’s the one always making jokes. Boban is always making jokes, too. Pretty much everyone is like that, but they’re the most. They’re always trying to make some jokes about other guys.”
