Svyatoslav Mykhailiuk leaves the Boston Celtics: what's next?
Ukrainian basketball player Svyatoslav Mykhailiuk, who last season played for the Boston Celtics, will soon become a free agent. The NBA champions decided not to renew the contract with the defender, which opens up new opportunities for him in the European arena.
Boston's pick: Cornet and Cueta instead of Mykhailiuk
The management of the Celtics decided to re-sign the contracts with reserves Luke Cornett and Nimas Cueta, who occupied two free places in the application. This practically deprived Mykhailiuk of the chance to stay in the team.
"We are grateful to Sviatoslav for his contribution to our victories, but now we are betting on other personnel," the club representative said.
Mykhailiuk's statistics in the NBA: was it worth leaving?
Mykhailiuk averaged 4.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 10.1 minutes on the court last season. While those numbers aren't impressive, they do speak to his potential as a utility player in the rotation.
Interest in the Euroleague: new horizons for the Ukrainian
Interest in the Ukrainian defender is attributed to several top Euroleague clubs, including Real, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos. This opens new prospects for Mykhailiuk on the European stage.
"Sviatoslav is a talented player, and we are sure that he will find his place in one of the leading teams in Europe," commented the basketball player's agent.
Historical context: the second Ukrainian NBA champion
We will remind that Mykhailiuk became the second Ukrainian champion in the history of the NBA. His contribution to Boston's triumph will remain in the memory of the fans.
Analysis and forecasts: what awaits Mykhailouk in the future?
Moving to the Euroleague could be a profitable move for Mykhailiuk. In European clubs, he will have more playing time and opportunities to develop. In addition, playing in the EuroLeague will allow him to demonstrate his abilities at a high level and possibly attract the attention of NBA clubs again.
"We will closely monitor Sviatoslav's career and wish him success in his new club," the Boston representative added.
So, Svyatoslav Mykhailiuk's future looks quite promising. His talent and hard work will definitely find recognition in new basketball arenas.
