Emotions are still fresh from Goran Dragic's farewell game in Ljubljana, but Zagreb is ready to give us another spectacle.

On September 5th, Drazen Petrovic memorial game will be held in Croatia's capital city, and Drazen's brother, Brazil NT coach Aleksandar Petrovic gave us more details about the event in an interview with Sportske Novosti.

"Luka Doncic will be here, Goran Dragic will also be here, Croatian NBA players, we're still waiting for confirmation on Nikola Jokic's presence," said Petrovic.

"Alberto Herreros and Alfonso Reyes, along with three current members of Real Madrid where Drazen wrote himself in history books are also coming to Zagreb."

"Mario Hezonja will play for team Croatia, Dzanan Musa and Walter Tavares will play for team Drazen, Facundo Campazzo was planned too but he's expecting a baby soon so he had to reject us."

And that's not an end to this stacked list of players...

"There will be more great players, Mathias Lessort, Tornike Shengelia, Shane Larkin, Dyshawn Pierre, Vanja Marinkovic, Nenad Dimitrijevic, Marcelinho Huertas, Jaka Blazic..."

"I asked coaches, Zeljko Obradovic, Neven Spahija and Josip Sesar to make this game competitive like it's not an exhibition, in honor of Drazen."
