Moses Wright Chooses Milan Over Maccabi and Hapoel Amid EuroLeague Moves
Moses Wright, a prominent EuroLeague center, is set to sign with Olimpia Milano after initially agreeing to join Barcelona. The Italian club will pay a $900,000 buyout to Barcelona to secure Wright, who recently completed his third EuroLeague season with impressive averages of 13.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. Wright previously played for Zalgiris and Olympiacos in the EuroLeague, as well as brief stints in the NBA with the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks, and experience in Chinese and Turkish leagues.
The transfer saga involved Joel Bolomboy, who was close to signing with Milano and even began searching for accommodation in the city. However, Bolomboy opted for a higher-paying offer from Villeurbanne, prompting Milano to pursue other options. Concurrently, Wright grew dissatisfied with Barcelona following the departure of coach Xavi Pascual and the resulting professional uncertainty, which led him to engage in talks with Milano.
Ultimately, Wright chose Olimpia Milano over other interested Israeli teams, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv. This decision marks a significant development in the EuroLeague summer transfer window, highlighting the competitive nature of player acquisitions among top European clubs.
