The continuation of the Summer League of Nadir Hifi is on hold since the French point guard/guard had to leave the Wolves ” to take care of a family emergency ” according to the franchise press release published Tuesday. Minnesota did not give more details on the duration of his unavailability. Nadir Hifi had made a convincing debut until then, even if his third match last night was a little more complicated.
On his 22nd birthday, Nadir Hifi had just signed his least successful performance, with 5 points at 2/6 shooting, weighed down especially by four fouls in 13 minutes, accompanied by three lost balls. A few hours after this two-point defeat against Jarred McCain's Sixers (21 points, but at 5/16), the Wolves announced his departure.
After being left out of the French team squad for the Olympic Games, the Paris Basketball player stood out for his scoring skills, even in very limited playing time (11.3 points in 15 minutes since the start of the Summer League).
This absence could limit his chances of convincing the Wolves management to grant him a contract, while there is only one game left to play for the Minnesota franchise on the night of Thursday to Friday against the Rockets, before the final stages of the Summer League.
