Mitch Creek of the Long Island Nets is still hoping he can fulfill his NBA dream this season, but if it doesn’t work out, he’ll return to Australia next season as the centerpiece on an NBL expansion team, the South Melbourne Phoenix. The Phoenix open play in 2019-20.
Creek announced his decision in a tweet and interviews with Australian media.
Excited to have the chance to possibly return to the @NBL next year.
To all my friends, family and all the fans along the way thank you for your support thus far.
