The Adelaide 36ers have gone to court in Australia to stop Mitch Creek from signing with the Brooklyn Nets without compensation of at least $100,000 Australian. or roughly $75,000, US.
Under international rules, a player must receive clearance from his current team before joining a team in another country.
According to the Adelaide Advertiser, the 36ers hope to resolve the issue within 24 hours permitting the 26-year-ld Creek to accept a camp invite from the Nets. Creek has been working out with the 36ers.
Creek had one year of a three-year deal left to run with the 36ers in the 2018-19 season but triggered his European/NBA out clause to join a top-level German club, Wurzberg.
