Luca Vildoza, one of the alternatives that Baskonia manages for the desired foreign signing that will definitively close the squad, continues to exercise with the Milwaukee Bucks for the time being, although hardly entering the plans of coach Mike Budenholzer. The Wisconsin franchise played its first friendly of the preseason yesterday morning against the Memphis Grizzlies, in which the Argentine base was only four minutes on the court, in which he recorded two points, one assist and one rebound.
The former Baskonista was the player who played the fewest minutes of the fifteen that participated for the Milwaukee Bucks, who could not count on some of their main players such as their star Giannis Antetokounmpo, Wesley Matthews, Pat Connaughton or the injured Joe Ingles and Khris Middleton. Therefore, everything indicates that Vildoza starts with a considerable disadvantage in the rotation compared to the rest of his teammates, which, in the event that his situation does not change or the franchise decides to end his non-guaranteed contract, could bring Quilmes closer Baskonia, who at the moment is patiently awaiting the arrival of that thirteenth player to complete the squad.
It should be remembered that the Bucks have already closed their squad with fifteen guaranteed contracts, but for now they intend to remain linked to Vildoza, who continues to be an asset to the team despite not having a guaranteed contract until the end of the season. Baskonia, who according to the sports director, Félix Fernández, has “constant conversations” with the player, is waiting for the balance to tip in his direction.
