NBA journeyman and former Denver Nuggets reserve Juancho Hernangómez forward is now a movie star.
Hernangómez may have been traded more times this year (four) than the number of points per game he’s averaging (1.2), but that didn’t keep the 6-foot-9 Spaniard from taking on a major role in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie.
The movie, “Hustle,” which debuts June 10 on Netflix, revolves around an American basketball scout who is unjustly fired after discovering a once-in-a-lifetime player abroad. The scout decides to bring the player to America to prove that they both have what it takes to make it in the NBA.
