Vucevic: The three teams he would pick if he comes to EuroLeague

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic, a Montenegrin, is happy to be back in Orlando after five years in Chicago and a short spell in Boston. Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, the 36-year-old said he feels nostalgic, and that his best memories with the Magic may still be ahead of him. He cited the quality of the team and Orlando being a good place for him and his family as reasons for his return.

Vucevic's contract expires in June 2027, which has raised questions about whether he will return to Europe. The player said he has not given it much thought and that it will depend on his situation and the role he would be offered. He said that he received some EuroLeague offers this summer but is focused on the NBA. With one year left on his contract, he said that NBA Europe or EuroLeague options could be available at the end of the season.

In an interview with Skweek, Vucevic named the three teams he would like to play for if he comes to EuroLeague: Crvena Zvezda, Olympiacos and Real Madrid. He described Barcelona as an incredible club with a great history, but said he gives slightly more priority to Real Madrid.

On Olympiacos, he praised coach Bartzokas as a great coach and described Athens as a tremendous city with wonderful fans. He added that he is a Crvena Zvezda fan and that playing for the club would be very special for him.
