Virtus Bologna is reportedly giving NBA veteran Justin Holiday a ten-day trial to address their roster challenges after key player Will Clyburn's injury, amid market difficulties and internal disagreements.
According to Sportando, Virtus Bologna has offered NBA veteran Justin Holiday a ten-day trial as they look to address their roster challenges. Holiday, with over 700 NBA games and a championship ring from 2015 with the Golden State Warriors, is reportedly willing to work for symbolic compensation in hopes of securing a significant contract with the team.
Justin Holiday
| Position: | SF, SG |
| Age: | 35 |
| Height: | 198 cm |
| Weight: | 84 kg |
| Birth place: | United States of America |
Holiday is a seasoned and versatile player, known for his reliable play and for being the older brother of NBA stars Jrue and Aaron Holiday.
After spending time in Europe early in his career, Holiday now returns to the European stage, but questions remain about his physical condition, as he has been sidelined for several months. At 34, regaining peak fitness quickly will be crucial, something Virtus may not have the luxury to wait for.
The move also reflects Virtus Bologna's struggles in the transfer market. After Will Clyburn’s injury, the team has yet to secure a replacement, in part due to internal disagreements. Massimo Zanetti, the club's president, has been reluctant to approve a budget increase, which has hindered their ability to make aggressive moves.
The trial with Holiday represents a gamble for Virtus, who hope he can quickly fill the void and bring much-needed depth as they compete in both the EuroLeague and domestic championship
