Ettore Messina of EA7 Emporio Armani Milan talked about Shabazz Napier's return to the team.
EA7 Emporio Armani Milan head coach Ettore Messina reflected on Shabazz Napier's return and gave details of the player's return.
Speaking after his team's blowout win against Vanoli Cremona with a score of 74-51, Messina had this to say.
"Napier took a big step financially to return to Milano," Messina said. "For this, we are grateful to him. I also would like to thank Crvena Zvezda [Meridianbet Belgrade] for their attitude during this process."
The American guard made a strong return to Olimpia Milano with the aforementioned game, contributing 16 points alongside 1 rebound and 1 assist.
"Napier is very happy to have returned to Milano. He helped the team gain rhythm with his performance today," Messina concluded.
Previously, Messina had revealed that they had offered Napier a contract extension, which the player ultimately rejected, asking for an amount triple his previous salary.
Ultimately, after following an ineffective and tumultuous period with Crvena Zvezda, Shabazz Napier returned to the Italian team.
