Isaac Bonga was one of the outstanding players at EuroBasket, which is why calls for him to return to the NBA are growing louder. The German himself has also commented on a possible transfer.
“That’s just something the media is writing about now. I’m just going to celebrate and talk to my family now, we’ll see about the rest later,” he said after the European Championship victory in an interview with Meridian Sport. According to reports, Bonga is on the radar of several NBA teams. He has a contract with Partizan until 2027, but can leave the team for the US thanks to an NBA exit clause.
Wagner fuels Bonga’s move to the NBA
His teammate Franz Wagner also believes that Bonga deserves another chance in the NBA. “He has shown for a few years now that he is an elite defender who can also shoot and create for himself. I think he can help a lot of teams,” he told BasketNews.
Bonga was drafted by the Lakers in 2018 and went on to play four seasons in the NBA, including for the Wizards and Raptors. However, he was never able to establish himself there and finally moved to FC Bayern in Europe in the summer of 2022.
