But Datome’s time in the NBA looks to be at an end as the Italian international is yet to receive a deal with another team in the league, and is looking at his options elsewhere with Khimki coming up as the front runners, according to Italian outlet Sportando.
The Russian side won the Eurocup last season, which automatically handed them a birth in the upcoming Euroleague season, where they were drawn in Group A alongside Real Madrid, Fenerbahce, Red Star Belgrade, Bayern Munich and Strasbourg.
While Khimki monitor Datome’s movements, The Moscow-based side have secured one deal for next season and that is of veteran Paul Davis.
