Without a club since the end of his contract with the Houston Rockets, Boban Marjanovic’s NBA adventure should come to an end after nine seasons in the big league. As reported by Eurohoops, the 36-year-old Serbian pivot has reached an agreement for a one-year contract with Fenerbahçe.
Drafted in 2010, the interior player only joined the NBA at the dawn of the 2015-2016 season with the San Antonio Spurs. In nine years, the giant trained at KK Hemofarm wore the colors of seven franchises, including the three Texans, the San Antonio Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets. His role remained quite minor in these different franchises given his physique, which was not well suited to what the American league demands.
A much more extensive list of achievements in Europe
In his early years in Europe, Marjanovic was a truly dominant player in the paint. A multiple Euroleague single-day MVP, the center was also named Serbian Championship MVP and a fixture in the Adriatic League starting five.
The former Los Angeles Clippers player is expected to play a much smaller role when he returns to Fenerbahçe but will continue to bring his smile and good humor to the team as he did during his last years in the NBA.
