Matt Morgan: Returning to Bologna as an Opponent Would Feel Like Going Home

Aris guard Matt Morgan contributed to Virtus Bologna's 2025 championship during his two years with the club. The 28-year-old player is averaging 16.8 points and 2.6 assists per game in 23 minutes this season in the Greek league and the Eurocup.

Explaining his decision to stay in Europe, Morgan said that he won a championship in his first year in Turkey and realized he could build his own identity there. He said he played his last NBA game against the Charlotte Hornets and that after that game he decided not to play another one. He added that he made this decision together with Virtus and his agent.

The player said that if he plays in EuroLeague again, returning to Bologna as an opponent would feel like going home for him. He believes there would be mutual love and respect between him and the fans. He described Bologna's championship as an unforgettable achievement in the city and reminded that it was the club's most recent title in its history. Wishing the team new successes, Morgan said he was happy to have played a part in this championship.
