Despite the multiple denials, the rumors were therefore true. Because Sasha Vezenkov was released from his contract by the Raptors, and is now free to return to Europe, presumably to return to Olympiakos…
After just one NBA campaign, the 2023 Euroleague MVP has seen enough and prefers to cross the Atlantic again.
At 28, and after a frustrating campaign with the Kings where he admitted his difficulties in adapting to both the style of play and the pace of the NBA season, the Bulgarian wanted so much to leave the Big League that he decided to give up. on the remainder of his contract (guaranteed), which is still 6.7 million dollars!
For the Raptors, it's a free departure, and the transfer of the Bulgarian has at least allowed the club to get its hands on Davion Mitchell, who should help the club find a more solid defensive identity.
