Mario Hezonja Could Return to EuroLeague as Cleveland Holds Early NBA Release Option
Mario Hezonja, the former Real Madrid star and current Cleveland Cavaliers forward, may leave the NBA earlier than expected due to a special clause in his contract. The 25-year-old signed a non-guaranteed deal with Cleveland worth $2.8 million for the season, which includes a unilateral release option for the Cavaliers until November 15. If Hezonja remains on the roster past this date, his contract becomes fully guaranteed for the NBA season. However, if Cleveland exercises this option before November 15, Hezonja will need to find a new team. One of the clubs reportedly interested in him this summer is Hapoel Tel Aviv, suggesting a possible return to the EuroLeague for the Croatian forward. This development keeps open the prospect of Hezonja rejoining European basketball after his stint in the NBA.
