Malaga’s Unicaja, preparing for the FIBA Champions League, is targeting the defender who played in the Euroleague last season. The Spanish newspaper Encestando.es reports that the Andalusians are in talks with Norris Cole, 32, 188 cm tall.
In the 2020-2021 Euroleague Championship, the American defended the honor of Wilerban ASVEL and recorded 13.7 points (35 percent trit.), 1.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.4 errors and 10.3 utility points in a match.
Before coming to Europe in 2017, Cole had a six-year NBA career and won championship rings twice (2012 and 2013) with the Miami Heat team.
The NBA defender represented the Heat, the New Orleans Pelicans and the Oklahoma Thunder and scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
Barring an unexpected turn of events, Unicaja’s team would not need Cole’s services. On July 28, the Malaga club signed a two-year contract with 184cm defender Marco Spiss, 26, who spent last season with Eimantas Bendius at Banco di Sardegna in Sassari.
However, the Italian who returned after the Olympic Games did not undergo a medical examination in Malaga and the contract was canceled.
In the upcoming season, Unicaja will compete in Group C of the FIBA Champions League and will compete with teams from Nizhny Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod, Dijon JDA and Lavry Megabolt.
