Marc Gasol is currently playing in Spain but hasn’t closed the door on an opportunity to return to the NBA, Dario Skerletic of Sportando relays.
“In the NBA they know I haven’t closed the door,” Gasol said. “Now I wanted to do this thing (play at Girona) and they understood it, perhaps more than many people here in Spain. The door is not closed, I am not saying that I will return or that I am evaluating it, but I know that there is interest on their part … at the moment I am focused on Girona.”
Gasol is a three-time NBA All-Star and a former Defensive Player of the Year Award winner.
