Utah Jazz decided to terminate the contract of the Argentine guard Leander Bolmarowhich was incorporated last summer by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
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.
Shams Charania, one of the journalists with the best sources inside the NBA and who regularly advances scoops in the American league, reported that the Argentinian, a former Barcelona player, was about to be terminated. And the data was confirmed Thursday evening.
“Thank you all for the support right now, good things will come,” wrote the Cordovan, responding to all the messages of encouragement received in the last few hours.
His time with the Jazz concluded with 14 games played, in which he averaged 4.9 minutes on the field, with 0.4 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.
The Jazz occupy the eleventh place in the Western Conference (29-21) and fight for a place in the ‘play-in’.
