Dzanan Musa ... finding his way with the help of some friends

Dzanan Musa is in a new city Thursday ... Las Vegas, Nevada. Musa won’t play in the NBA Summer League this weekend but he’s with his teammates working out, sightseeing a bit and learning how to be an NBA player.

The 6’9” (and maybe still growing) Bosnian is used to having basketball introduce him to new worlds. At age 11, he left his hometown of Bihac and headed to Sarajevo, Bosnia’s capital, for some intense basketball training. Coaches could see his potential even then. At first, it was difficult being alone in the big city but he adjusted, developed toughness.
