Coming off his first NBA title, Golden State Warriors big man Zaza Pachulia has used the NBA offseason to focus on potentially taking part in the EuroBasket tournament with Georgia.
In light of that, Stavros Barbarousis of Eurohoops.net is reporting that Pachulia is now cleared to play with his home team in EuroBasket.
The Golden State Warriors big man had his first full practice yesterday, he is completely healed and despite missing the recent “Acropolis tournament” in Athens, he will be available for the Georgian national team for the start of the official games in the Eurobasket tournament.
There had been concerned raised about an ankle injury that was lingering for the last few weeks. However, it appears that the injury has fully healed and he should be able to play for his home country's national team.
Pachulia figures to be a major part of the team given that he's the only player on the roster that is currently playing in the NBA. He is also one of the most established players that could bring plenty to the table to help Georgia's efforts in making some noise at EuroBasket.
The 33-year-old had inked a one-year deal earlier this offseason to return to the Warriors.
