In the 71 games played so far with Real Madrid this season, Mario Hezonja has averaged 14.3 points and 5.2 rebounds. The level of the Croatian player in Europe has attracted interest from several NBA teams looking to sign him.
This was reported by NBA Rumors' Donatas Urbonas from Basket News. Hezonja has been in Europe since the 2021 season. His last team in the NBA was the Portland Trail Blazers during the Bubble year (2019/20). Five years later, his return to the NBA seems more certain than ever.
"Veteran forward Mario Hezonja may be considering a return to the NBA. Hezonja has an NBA exit clause in his agreement with Real Madrid and has piqued the interest of teams there," explained Urbonas.
Mario Hezonja was the star of Croatia in the qualification phase for EuroBasket 2025. The forward averaged 30.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 steals per game.
