Raptors reporter: “Reports about Vezenkov are false – He is considered normal in Toronto”

A different piece of information to what was released earlier about his future Sasha Vezenkov reported Canadian journalist.

According to Michael Grangewhich deals with the reporting of Raptors on Canada’s largest television network “Sportsnet”, all that was heard about the return of the Bulgarian forward to the Olympic is false, since the player is normally counted on by his NBA team, who wants to keep him and have him with them in the preseason.

“According to people familiar with the reports about Sasha Vezenkov leaving the NBA to play in Greece, they are not true. The former Kings player still has one year into the contract of him, the Raptors are reviewing his rights and show no inclination to sign him release. They are waiting for him in their preparation”characteristically stated the Grange.

We remind you that earlier, “Sportando” had written that: “Sasha Vezenkov decided to return to Europesigning a four-year contract with Olympic. He is returning to Piraeus after just one year.” information which the Canadian journalist obviously wanted to deny.

In his rookie season, the 29-year-old forward averaged 5.4 points (37.5% on 3-pointers) and 2.3 rebounds in 12.2 minutes in a total of 42 games. It has a guaranteed contract value 6.6 million dollars for the next season. In the summer of 2025, there is an option on the part of his respective team, for another year of cooperation with earnings of approx. 7 million dollars.

So, according to those in a position to know, reports that Sasha Vezenkov is leaving the NBA to play in Greece are … not true. The former King has 1 year left on his NBA deal, Raptors control his rights, & have no intention of waiving him & expect to have him in training camp. Carry on.
