Real Madrid announced to have reached an agreement with forward Mario Hezonja for the next two seasons.
In 2021 the Croatian player made his return to Europe, signing with Panathinaikos OPAP Athens.
This past season, the 27-year-old averaged 14.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 14.2 PIR over 25 EuroLeague games for UNICS Kazan.
On March 22, Russian clubs were officially excluded from the 2021-22 EuroLeague season due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
