The president of the “Toronto” basketball team, Masai Ujiri, commented to the media in the USA about the situation with the Bulgarian national player Alexander Vezenkov, who was accused by the media in Greece of a transfer to the “Olympiakos” team.
The 28-year-old Bulgarian was recruited by the Canadian team a few days ago in a deal that sent winger Jaylen McDaniels to Sacramento. Vezenkov signed a three-year deal with the Kings last summer after previously winning the EuroLeague MVP award with Olympiakos. With the Kings, however, he got few chances to play, which led to speculation that he would leave the National Basketball Association, even though he is under contract for two more seasons.
“We are still negotiating with Vezenkov “He had a difficult year in the NBA. We’re trying to figure out exactly what’s going on and what he wants. We will make the right decision,” the Raptors boss.
“Personally, I think that Vezenkov is a phenomenal player. He had a difficult season, but such things happen. He is an excellent shooter. But whatever happens, we will make the most of the situation. We support him in every way and we know the direction, in where our team is going. I hope we have a solution soon,” added Ujiri, who is one of the most respected executives in the NBA
