Wolves assistant coach Aurimas Jasilionis, who will work under head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis in the new club, revealed in an interview with BasketNews that the club is still considering making an offer for Fall.

"To be honest, the idea for Tacko [Fall] is still alive. We're still searching, talking to agents, and Fall's candidacy remains among the options, we'll see how it goes," said Jasilionis.

"When I first saw him [Tacko Fall] on the list, I thought it was a joke. But I started watching more of his games, it doesn't seem like a joke anymore. It's incredible how fast he can move with his height," added Jasilionis.

"We do not write off this option. I think people would love him here immediately, he is a TikTok star," the coach continued.

"From a marketing point of view it would be a super move, and on the court as well, we think he would be a big force in Europe," Jasilionis concluded.

The Wolves already have signed multiple EuroLeague and EuroCup experienced names such as Regimantas Miniotas, Adas Juskevicius, Marcos Delia, Kristupas Zemaitis, Hugo Invernizzi, and others, as well as NBA-experienced guard Ahmad Caver.

Tacko Fall started his professional career in 2019 with the Boston Celtics after going undrafted, since then he's been moving between the NBA and the G league.
