"I wanted to bring all the stars I played with," Dragic said on Thursday, via Sport Klub.

He then named some big names that will be in Ljubljana. The list includes stars such as Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Luis Scola, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jimmy Butler, Jeff Hornacek, Kevin McHale, and Steve Nash, among others.

Since concluding the previous season and playing his last game on April 22, the 37-year-old Dragic has been a free agent.

Having entered the NBA in 2008 as a second-round pick by the San Antonio Spurs, with subsequent trade to the Phoenix Suns, Dragic has donned the jerseys of various teams throughout his remarkable career. These include the Suns, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, and Milwaukee Bucks.

Over 946 games (530 starts) and 15 seasons, Dragic boasts career averages of 13.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 4.7 assists.

Dragic, a recipient of the NBA Most Improved Player award in 2014 and an NBA All-Star in 2018, achieved the biggest win of his career in 2017 at FIBA EuroBasket. There, he clinched the gold medal with the Slovenian national team and earned MVP honors for his stellar performance.
