He did not participate in the next three, two against the New Orleans Pelicans and the last against the Milwaukee Bucks.

From Barça to the NBA

The Albiceleste international was chosen with number 23 by the Timberwolves in the 2020 draft, which earned him a contract of more than 11 million dollars for four seasons. But, as with first-round players, the first two are fully guaranteed (for about 4.5 million total) and the third and fourth depend on one-sided franchise renewal options.

Bolmaro had a contract with Barcelona until 2023 and a clause of almost one million euros. He will pay it, with the help of the Wolves, who by agreement can only put a maximum of $ 750,000 (about 635,000 euros) on their part. The rest will be paid by the player, who has the presence in the Wolves organization chart of his compatriot Pablo Prigioni.
