Most NBA players have found something to do to keep busy this summer, whether it’s summer league or otherwise. Luol Deng will take his talents across the pond…
Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng has been cleared to play for Britain in the European Basketball Championships after resolving a dispute over insurance.
Deng says on his website Wednesday that “significant liability issues” have been overcome to allow him to play in the tournament. The championships run from Aug. 31-Sept. 18 in Lithuania.
He says “playing for GB is always important to me so I’m really glad we could resolve this. It has been a long process but a great team effort.”
