Usman Garuba, Spanish international and player for the Golden State Warriors, said that “for now” he does not think about whether his future involves a return to European basketball or continuing in the NBA and that he only has the Spanish team in mind, where he hopes to qualify for Paris 2024 through the Valencia Pre-Olympic.
Asked if he took the path back to Europe, Real Madrid, his former team, would be the priority, he said: “Let’s say yes, I hope so; as long as things work out. But nothing is clear yet.” Until now I am still in the United States, on July 1 I will officially be a free agent and we will see my future in Europe or my future in the NBA, now I am thinking about the national team.”
“Until now, I have not spoken to anyone. I am on the 1st free agent and we will see what happens from that day,” he also stated when asked if anyone from the white club has contacted him, in an interview granted to the EFE agency during the concentration conducted by the national team in Madrid.
Regarding the season, the white team said: “It looks like a great team for me. I am always in contact with many of them and the truth is that it is an incredible team. Facundo Campazzo, ‘Edy’Tavares, Llull , Rudy , Causeur… about All the veterans, what fascinates me about them is their professionalism. Even though their legs are tired from playing so many games, they compete consistently, with work and effort.
“For me, it was fun to share the locker room with them because they helped me grow and see what basketball is. are doing well and they are also adding young players like Musa, Hezonja, Deck continues… it’s a great team and they will get better for sure,” he added.
Also, he made sure that playing the necessary games to access the lifetime pension provided by the competition was not what motivated him to continue fighting to play for an NBA team: “Honestly, when I heard that thinking of people my obsession is in the United States because of the pension… I didn’t even know about the pension, to be honest, I didn’t realize it until the end.
“Honestly, if at my age I’m thinking about a pension at the age of sixty I have a huge problem. For me that’s not important. My goal is not to be in the NBA for the pension, but for with the work I put in and for everything What happened to me there people don’t know what I sacrificed to be there. like no, things happen that always come up,” he said.
