Las Vegas is the place to be in July if the goal is reaching an NBA contract, with the Summer League showcasing talents from every angle of the globe to agents and insiders.

That’s why, as reported by Mozzart Sport, Bruno Caboclo is currently present there as well, he flew right after the end of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Riga, where he was huge in bringing Brazil to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The 28-year-old Brazilian center’s future with Partizan Belgrade is still unclear. According to the Serbian report, his agent would like to end the contract with the black-and-white powerhouse, while Zeljko Obradovic‘s team still wants to have him on board.

Chasing a return to the NBA, where he last played with the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2021-22 season before moving overseas, he still had a good EuroLeague campaign with Partizan Belgrade, putting up 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds per game with 70.0% from two and 50.0% from the arc.

Under head coach Aleksandar Petrovic in Latvia, he led the Brazilian national team to an Olympic return eight years in the making, averaging 17.8 points and 7.0 boards per encounter in four games.
