“I think it’s time to talk about it because, after all, we’re feeding the NBA. There are probably 25% international players, maybe more.

Despite being eligible to play for the Spain senior national team covering the naturalized player slot, Nikola Mirotic ruled out a return. “I don’t think so, because I haven’t played with them for many years.
