Updated: Bjelica returning to Europe rather than joining Sixers

On July 5th, Nemanja Bjelica and the Sixers had reached an agreement for Bjeli to join the Sixers on a one-year, $4.4 million deal. The deal is yet to be made official though, and according to Nikos Varlas of Eurohoops.net, Bjelica is drawing interest from teams in the Euroleague:

Nemanja Bjelica and the Sixers have not finalized yet their contract for next season and according to multiple sources, EuroLeague teams may jump on the chance to bring the Serb forward back to the old continent.

It’s obvious that Bjelica’s priority is the NBA, however, he expected a better and especially a longer deal than the mid-level exception of the Sixers for one year.
