Attracting attention with his performance in Barcelona, Hezonja stepped into the American Basketball League (NBA) by being selected from the 1st round 5th place by the Orlando Magic in the 2015 draft. Hezonja, who plays for the New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers as well as the Magic in the NBA, returned to Europe last year to work for Panathinaikos and UNICS Kazan.
The Croatian basketball player, who played 25 games in the THY Europa League with the UNICS Kazan jersey last season, averaged 14.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals.
Real Madrid, which brought Chus Mateo to head coach due to Pablo Laso’s health problems, transferred Dzanan Musa and Sergio Rodriguez as well as Hezonja. The contracts of experienced players Rudy Fernandez, Fabien Causeur and Sergio Llull in the Spanish team were extended.
