Shabazz Napier, now a former player of Crvena Zvezda, spoke out after the EuroLeague match of Round 15 against Real Madrid.
Crvena Zvezda suffered a defeat with a score of 72:58, bringing their overall record to 5-10. Napier warmed up with the team but did not take part in the actual game. That became the first question posed by journalists after the conclusion of the EuroLeague clash.
Coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos responded that Shabazz Napier chose not to play to avoid the risk of injury as he is in negotiations with another club. The American basketball player took to the social media platform Instagram with a brief message: “Speak the truth in front of the camera!”
