It is known to everyone that the NBA it is a tough league which works differently to what we know in Europe. Teams part with their players much more easily, often without even informing them of their intentions.
The victim of this practice was this time o Davis Bertans. The Latvian forward was competing with Latvia against the Cameroon for the semi-finals of the Riga Pre-Olympic tournament, while the Hornetsthe team he plays for, made their own plans!
Specifically, the “wasps” decided to release him Bertanswhich we… doubt he knew beforehand himself, or was informed by social media after the game ended.
What is certain is that the experienced Latvian will now be on the list waiverswith NBA teams having 48 hours to claim it contract of. Afterwards, he will be free and able to negotiate, but also return to Europe if he wishes.
“All I can say is I don’t really care right now. I am fully focused here in Latvia. You know, in a way, I’m very happy that right now it’s the only jersey I’m wearing.”Bertans said after the end of the match.
Last season, the 31-year-old averaged 6.7 points (39.3% on 3-pointers) and 1.4 rebounds. The Charlotte Hornets it was the 6th NBA team he played for during his league career.
