Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv chance could help Cavs’ Ante Zizic’s development

It’s been a tough set of circumstance for Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic throughout the 2019-20 season.

Coming into his third year in the NBA, Zizic, who was a piece involved in the Kyrie Irving trade to the then-Boston Celtics, dealt with left plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and didn’t make his debut until mid-November. Even so, the numbers were stacked against him with Cleveland then having Tristan Thompson and John Henson, whether or not I wanted to see Zizic get more burn.

Furthermore, in mid-January at the Denver Nuggets, Zizic unfortunately was hit in the head accidentally by Mason Plumlee, and in turn, suffered a vestibular condition that caused vertigo-like symptoms.
