Initially, it appeared that Nikola Mirotic might accompany Mateusz Ponitka, but the basketball player opted against pursuing his career in Serbia and eventually found his way to Olimpia Milano.
“Yes, I heard something about it…” Ponitka said. “I don’t use social media, so I don’t know how things work on those platforms, but I read some articles about Mirotic and Partizan, as well as other clubs, and I saw that there was a lot of interest in him. Which is normal because he’s a great player, one of the best in the EuroLeague, and wherever he goes, he’ll be a big addition.
“I don’t know exactly what happened with Partizan, why he didn’t come, but maybe I’ll hear something during the season. He chose Milan, and there will be a lot of strong players with great potential there. It’s his decision, I don’t know him personally, but he chose Olympiacos, and they will have a strong team there.”
