Report: NBA free agent Nikola Mirotic to sign with team in Barcelona


Nikola Mirotic will sign with Euroleague club Barcelona, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The terms of his deal have not yet been disclosed.

The power forward was in line for a deal with $45M to $50M in total worth, Charania adds. Mirotic made $12.5M during the 2018-19 season, though he was forced to move to Milwaukee when the Pelicans dealt him to the Bucks at the trade deadline.

The 28-year-old’s decision makes the Bucks’ offseason priority a little clearer. Malcolm Brogdon, Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton are all in need of new contracts, and it would have been difficult for Milwaukee to bring back all of their pending free agents.

There were whispers that Mirotic would consider a deal in Spain, as Sportando recently relayed. He had played for Real Madrid prior to coming over to the NBA.

The Mavericks and Jazz were among the teams expected to have interest in Mirotic. Since coming to the league in 2014, Mirotic has seen action in 319 contests.
