Ante Zizic is going to join EuroLeague powerhouse Real Madrid, when the Cleveland Cavaliers decided to release him from his current contract, per Eurohoops.

According to the report, Cleveland is going to release the big man from Croatia sooner rather than keeping him contracted until mid-October.

In his three seasons in the NBA, Zizic played in 121 NBA matches including eight playoffs games with the Cavaliers.

Should the former Darussafaka player become a free agent during summer, he is going to join the Madrid club for the preseason.
