The deal includes an option for the 2021-22 season.The No. 5 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft will continue his career overseas after he was unable to find another opportunity in basketball's top league after being released by the Grizzlies during training camp.

Across stints with the Magic, Knicks and Trail Blazers, Hezonja averaged 6.9 points (on 41.7 percent shooting from the field), 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 18.5 minutes per game over 330 regular-season appearances (69 starts).
