Nikola Vučević came to Boston with the desire to finally enter the race for the NBA title. However, the Celtics were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Philadelphia, and the Montenegrin center had almost no impact.
This was also influenced by an injury to his right finger, which caused him to take a break until just before the start of the finals of the strongest basketball league in the world.
Due to all these circumstances, it became clear that Vuč's stay with the Celtics was doomed. The question arises - will the former national team player remain in the NBA league or will he return to Europe?
According to well-informed insider from the world's strongest league, Mark Stein, Nikola should be in the NBA next season as well.
"Former All-Star center Nikola Vučević is likely to change teams this summer after a fractured right ring finger in March disrupted his brief stint in Boston. Although he will turn 36 in October, he is expected to attract interest from certain teams, given that there is generally always a demand for tall players who can spread the game and shoot," Stein said.
As a reminder, Vuč has been in the United States since 2011, when Philadelphia selected him with the 16th pick in the draft. From 2012 to 2021, he played for Orlando, before moving to Chicago, where he remained until early February of this year.
In Europe, he only played for Buducnost, and there is no doubt that, if he decides to return to the Old Continent, he would be the most sought-after "goods" on the market.
