Nikola Mirotic who is still negotiating his new contract with the Chicago Bulls is under pressure by the NBA franchise to stay out of the upcoming Eurobasket.

According to a report by the biggest Spanish sports newspaper “Marca” Mirotic wants to play with the Spanish national team, but the Bulls have the opposite opinion.

Mirotic is part of the Spanish national team pre-selection and his presence in the upcoming Eurobasket was considered a lock. That’s why the other naturalized star of Spain, Serge Ibaka, was not called. However, if the pressure of the Bulls keeps Mirotic out of the team, then either Pierre Oriola or Ilimane Diop, two of the six players who have “survived” the first cuts of coach Sergio Scariolo, will take Mirotic’s place on the final roster.
