Nikola Mirotic is currently in a situation of uncertainty about his professional future, and instead of risking having to resign abruptly, he has preferred to give up his place to another player who can enjoy the call from the start, as mentioned in the announcement.
“The player wants to convey that he regrets tremendously not being with the National Team this year, but feels that he can not be selfish about the possibility of harming the team at the last moment. That is why he asks for understanding and support, and wishes Spain the best of luck in the competition.
The FEB understands and respects the reasons that led Nikola to make this difficult decision, while highlighting the commitment and enthusiasm that has shown for previous calls.”
Mirotic won’t be able to help Spain to defend its crown after winning gold in EuroBasket 2015.
