Quinn Cook, who spent last season playing in China, recently revealed that he withdrew from a contract agreement with an Iranian team back in January.
The former NBA guard shared the update in an interview with Marc J. Spears of ESPN’s Andscape.
Cook had also reached an agreement to participate in the upcoming Basketball Africa League season.
However, the Rwandan team he was set to join ultimately chose not to compete because of a dispute involving the United States.
The two-time NBA champion, who played five seasons in the league, said he remains interested in exploring opportunities in the BAL despite the setback.
“I have never been to Africa,” Cook told Spears. “I was excited about checking it out. I also planned on going with my mom and sister. Rwanda was a spot we were supposed to hit, but now I will have to wait and see.
“Everything happens for a reason, but I hope BAL teams see I’m available and I’m open to play for another team.”
