Erazem Lorbek ready to return: Thoughts of retirement never crossed my mind. I've 5 years left in me
Lorbek played a couple of games in the Summer League with the Spurs
Erazem Lorbek returned to the court after two years off due to an injury and played a couple of games in the Summer League with the Spurs.
The Slovenian big man wants to return to the court in Europe and play for five more years.
Lorbek released a long interview to Moshe Barda on Team Scout.
“The road to recovery was not easy but thoughts of retirement never crossed my mind. Staying out for two years was definitely not something that I expected, but at the same time I wanted to make sure that I’m 100 percent ready to return. I don’t think that I will have any problem or limitation, I’m ready to get back to action, I can practice hard as much as possible, and it will be only better. I will be the same player I was if not even better. Right now I’m only focused on working hard and getting better so that I could be prepared for the upcoming season, and this is my main concern at the moment rather than which team would suit me better, and my agent takes care of the rest. I think that I have five years in me, but I will try to play for as long as I can because I love the game of basketball and I still feel like that I have a lot more to give but also to learn, there’s a lot of basketball left inside me and I feel that I belong on the court.”
