Speaking to Sportal.rs, Nedovic talked about the saga that unfolded between Napier and Crvena Zvezda.

"In ten years of my career, I have never experienced such support for a player as it happened to Shabazz here at Crvena Zvezda," Nedovic bluntly said. "I am not just talking about the club. Us players also helped him a lot in his adaptation to the team."

"We wasted so much energy on him that we disregarded certain important points.

Now that he has left, I think we can concentrate on what we need, and things will certainly become easier for us," he concluded.

The Napier-Zvezda saga has been a tumultuous one, with the player eventually ending up returning to EA7 Emporio Armani Milan after he and Crvena Zvezda head coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos had a row.

With the Serbian team, Napier averaged 9.8 points, 1.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.3 steals.
