Boban Marjanovic Still Awaiting NBA Contract for Upcoming Season
Veteran center Boban Marjanovic remains hopeful of securing a contract with an NBA team for the upcoming season. The 7’4″ Serbian big man, known for his towering presence and charismatic personality, is currently a free agent after spending the last two seasons with the Houston Rockets.
Despite his free-agent status, Marjanovic is determined to continue his NBA career. “I’m still waiting for the NBA,” Marjanovic recently stated in an interview. “There are options on the table, but nothing is finalized yet. Plans often change, and I’m prepared for whatever comes next.”
Marjanovic’s NBA journey began with the San Antonio Spurs in 2015, and since then, he has played for several teams, including the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Dallas Mavericks. While his minutes have often been limited, Marjanovic has become a fan favorite across the league due to his unique blend of size, skill, and off-court charm.
Most recently, Marjanovic was seen in Slovenia, where he participated in a tribute game for retiring NBA star Goran Dragic. The event, which featured appearances by basketball legends such as Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Bosh, and Steve Nash, also included reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.
As Marjanovic awaits his next opportunity, he remains focused on staying ready for whatever comes his way. “I’m keeping myself in shape and staying positive,” he said. “I love this game, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.”
For now, the 36-year-old Marjanovic continues to weigh his options, with the hope that an NBA team will come calling before the season begins. His experience, size, and locker room presence make him an intriguing option for teams looking to bolster their frontcourt depth.
