Milos Teodosic Off To Play in Italy

Looks like Milos Teodosic's run in the NBA is over.

The former Clippers guard has signed on with the Italian club Virtus Bologna, according to Nicola Lupo of Sportando. The team itself announced the new contract, which will cover three years.

Teodosic had played for the Clippers the last few years but was considered a disappointment after becoming a big star in Europe. Over two seasons, he played only 60 games, including 15 this year. He was eventually waived in February. He averaged 10 minutes a night this season and was frustrated with his playing time going all the way back to November.

In the EuroLeague before coming to LA, Teodosic was a six-time All-League selection and in 2010 was the league's MVP. He helped the Serbian team capture the silver medal at the 2016 Olympics, as well as capturing silvers in the 2009 EuroBasket tournament and the 2014 FIBA World Cup.

To be fully honest, I was hoping for a better outing for Teodosic when he came to LA, just because of all the skills and accolades he accumulated while over in Europe. It became clear, though, that his time with the Clippers wouldn't have panned out as he would've liked. The Clippers never gave him an opportunity to prove himself and the acquisitions they made over the last few years clearly meant he was on his way out the door. Hopefully, he can find better success back over in Europe and especially in Italy.

Best of luck, Milos! Sorry that it didn't work out the way you would've liked it to.
