Free agent Rodions Kurucs has agreed to a two-year contract with KK Partizan in Serbia, the club announced today. The agreement contains NBA outs and marks his first stint overseas since 2017.
Kurucs, a 6’9″ forward, spent two-and-a-half seasons with Brooklyn before being acquired by Houston in the January deal featuring James Harden. He was then dealt to Milwaukee as part of the P.J. Tucker trade in March, getting waived after five games.
Kurucs holds career averages of six points, 3.1 rebounds and 16.1 minutes per game in 131 contests. The 23-year-old was selected with the No. 40 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by Brooklyn.
Before the draft, Kurucs also made professional stops in Latvia from 2012-15 and Spain from 2015-18.
Who ever does not know, this team is called serbian boston celtics.
Bertnas and bogdanovic both came from there, and tone of players before them
Makes sense they’re the Serbian Celtics after winning 21 championships.
But if they had lost the championship game 15 times they’d be the Lakers instead.

Maybe Kurocs is looking for an attitude adjustment then. He is barely getting on court.
For a time, he looked like he was going to be a good NBA player. I wonder what happened.
personal life legal issues?
What does personal legal issues does have to do with hoops… unless you end up in jail, that obviously would be quite the hindrance, right? Otherwise don’t see the point, man!
he admitted his on going legal issues was weighing on him and was affecting his performance. his case was pushed back and nothings been resolved. it affects his visa status and other things. so there is the point, coming from him.
Maybe he just wants to have a bigger role playing internationally. Not everyone wants to be an NBA role player even if the pay would be better.
