Despite being back on the courts, the health issues of Mirza Teletovic from last season are the reason for him missing the upcoming Eurobasket. The leader of Bosnia will not be able to play in the tournament.
As he announced himself in Serajevo – and as Igor Marinovic reports – the player admitted that: “The Phoenix Suns advised me not to play for the national team this summer. I was ill and this is my team, so I decided to skip EuroBasket 2015. My wish to play for national team was never in question, but circumstances are different now. I believe I’ll be back next summer”
This is a huge blow for Bosnia which is expected to play also without Denver’s Jusuf Nurkic who had an ankle surgery at the start of the summer.
