Boban Marjanovic is returning from a 14-game season with the Houston Rockets.
He averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 52.9 percent from the field.
Over the summer, Marjanovic became a free agent available to sign with any team in the league.
As of August 25, he still has not signed.
Recently, the Veterans Center conducted an interview with Meridian sport (h/t HoopsHype, Eurohoops.net).
Marjanovic (by Meridian sporttranslated into English by Eurohoops Türkiye): “I don’t have a plan for my future, I’m waiting for an offer from the NBA. If it doesn’t come, I’ll continue my path in another way.”
🤔 Serbian durumdaki Boban Marjanovic, I chose to do it:
“Geleceğime d’air bir planım yok, NBA’den teklif bekliyorum. Gelmezse yoluma başka şekilde devam ederim.”

Based on his comments, he clearly still wants to play in the NBA at 36.
That said, there’s only a month left until training camp begins, so it will be interesting to see if a team is willing to sign him.
Marjanovic was a consistently popular player during his nine seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers.
