Olympiacos Piraeus forward addressed the NBA possibilities and revealed that the Kings watched his games during the season.

"I am happy that my rights went to a team that really wants me," said Vezenkov. "I know that the Kings watched me during the season and saw my games," added Vezenkov.

Vezenkov said he will not go to the summer league but will have talks with the Kings soon.

"I have no intention of playing in the Summer League. We will talk soon[with the Kings]", Vezenkov revealed.

"I knew the Kings scouts were at the Olympiacos games," said the Bulgarian-Greek. "Everything is new to me, we'll see and know more later in the summer," Vezenkov concluded.

Olympiacos and Sasha Vezenkov have renewed their partnership until 2024. However, a specific NBA out has been defined in the contract.

The 26-year-old Vezenkov spent his previous four seasons with Olympiacos. Last season Vezenkov made the EuroLeague final four with Olympiacos and averaged 13.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 17.8 PIR per game.

The Bulgarian-Greek forward was the 57th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft but never played in the NBA.
