Bol Bol's fall in Thursday night's NBA draft finally ended midway through the second round.
The 7-foot-2 center out of Oregon, at one point considered a top-five pick, instead went 44th overall to the Miami Heat, who have agreed to trade the pick to the Denver Nuggets.
Bol was one of 22 players invited to the green room for the draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but he was seen leaving his seat before returning just before deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announced the pick.
"The wait is over," he told ESPN's Maria Taylor after the selection.
