Rumor Central

During a Q&A with The Sacramento Bee last weekend, Sacramento Kings vice president of basketball operations and general manager Vlade Divac mentioned that he is planning to bring over Serbian shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic next season.

Bogdanovic, the No. 27 pick in the 2014 NBA draft, read what Divac said and downplayed that speculation via his Twitter account:

According to pro basketball reporter David Pick, Bogdanovic, 24, is currently under contract with Fenerbahce for the 2017-18 season, although there is a buyout in his contract that is worth more than $1 million.

Bogdanovic has played in Turkey with Fenerbahce since 2014 and this season he is averaging 13.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in all competitions.
