In this way the NBA remains without Argentines for the first time since 2020, after the departures of Bolmaro, Facundo Campazzo AND Luca Vildozzain this season. Vildoza left the Milwaukee Bucks for Red Star Belgrade in October. The same fate Campazzo chose a month later after leaving the Dallas Mavericks.

The 22-year-old Bolmaro arrived in Salt Lake City along with Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler and Jarred Vanderbilt in a trade that landed Frenchman Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he barely got any minutes in the Jazz’s rotations.
