Boban Marjanovic: I hope I can play for Serbian NT next summer
The Serbian big man would love to play in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament and in Rio (if Serbia makes it)
Boban Marjanovic missed Eurobasket due to a foot injury.
The Spurs did not give permission to the Serbian giant to play for his National Team this summer.
But Marjanovic hopes to play for his country next summer in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament and in Rio if Serbia makes it.
“Some things are simply more powerful than the desire” Marjanovic told B92 about his absence this summer. “But I hope to be part of the team that will play in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament and then in Rio. It will be up to the coach to decide if I deserve a spot in the roster” Marjanovic added.
The big man has now the green lights from Spurs doctors to work.
“I have been here for four weeks. At first I have worked in the gym and run on the treadmill. It is just now that I’ve started to work five-on-five” added Marjanovic.
