The Chicago Bulls' long-running pursuit of a Nikola Vucevic trade could soon receive a helping hand in the form of EuroBasket 2025.
The 34-year-old center will suit up for Montenegro in what will likely be his last international tournament, and if he has a strong showing, he would presumably become a more appealing target for other NBA teams.
Vucevic dominated one of two Montenegrin pre-tournament friendlies, finishing with a game-high 27 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Israel (which featured Portland Trail Blazers ascending star Deni Avdija) before putting up a nine-point, four-assist clunker in a loss to Alperen Sengun and Turkey.
