Julyan Stone is a 28 year old point guard who has bounced between the United States and Europe in his professional career, with stints in the NBA, G-League, Turkey, and Italy. The Charlotte Hornets want to sign him, but his club team Reyer Venezia won’t let him out of his contract, which doesn’t include an opt-out clause.
But Stone’s situation isn’t just about a return to the NBA. According to a post on his Instagram, his father is battling serious health issues. Stone wants to return to the United States to be closer to him, and to better pay for his treatment.
