Former NBA guard Kendrick Nunn signed a two-year contract extension with Panathinaikos in Greece earlier this month, but he’s not ruling out an NBA return, he told Vangelis Papadimitriou of Eurohoops.net. The contract includes NBA out clauses, under specific conditions.
“I’ll be honored to go back. You never know,” he said.
In the meantime, he hopes to bring multiple EuroLeague titles to his current team. Nunn was named to the All-EuroLeague First Team in his first season with the club.
“To play here with one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Playing at a high level. With great guys in the locker room that I enjoy playing with and bonding. It wasn’t hard. I love Panathinaikos and Greece,” he said.
We have more from around the basketball world:
- Which impending free agents hurt their stock during the postseason? HoopsHype’s Frank Urbina identifies four players — Buddy Hield, Tobias Harris, Russell Westbrook and Moritz Wagner — who fall in that category. Westbrook has the ability to exercise a player option for next season, while Wagner’s deal includes a team option.
- Brazil has announced a roster of 17 players for its Olympic qualifier tournament in Riga, Latvia. The roster will eventually be pared to 12 players. Gui Santos, who played 23 games with the Warriors as a rookie this season, made the list. Raul Neto, Cristiano Felicio, Didi Louzada and Bruno Caboclo are among former NBA players who are also on the preliminary roster, Sportando relays.
- In case you missed it, Taylor Jenkins, Willie Green and Chauncey Billups top the list of coaches on the hot seat next season.
Magic have a team option on Wagner, he can’t control his own destiny
Brazil has something to prove. I think Bruno is ready
Taylor needs to go imo
I know he was terrible in the post season but it’ll be interesting to see what happens with Tobias.
Not a great PF market and his number last year 17/6.5/3 and shooting 49-35-88, weren’t bad.
He’s only 31 so there’s still juice in the tank.
Hes can play some SF and he is a decent defender.
Obviously whatever he gets it’s going to be a massive downgrade from his previous contract but I’m sure he will still have a good market.
Return back to Detroit? They have cap space and have a paint protecting lock down centre in Duren so he could be that smaller scoring option which helps opens the floor more for Cade.
Think Miles would be their number 1 target but Tobias would be a nice fallback.
Clippers, if they end up losing PG to Philly maybe they make some kinda weird sign and trade both ways. Harden Mann Kawhi Tobias and Zu
San Antonio didn’t lock down that 4 spot, have cap space and could look for a more of a veteran presence.
Tobias is a perfect fit for the Nuggets.
I don’t care where Tobias goes, but he needs to reunite with Boban.
Field hurt his stock more or less during his whole Sixers tenure. Tobi meanwhile is a liability. Shouldn’t get anything.
