ISTANBUL, TURKEY - New Jersey Nets guard Sasha Vujacic on Friday signed a one-year deal with an option for a second to play for the Anadolu Efes of the Euroleague.
Vujacic averaged 9.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 67 games last season between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Jersey. The Nets acquired him from the Lakers as part a three-team trade in December.
The Slovenian won back-to-back NBA titles with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010.
Vujacic was Los Angeles' first-round pick (27th overall) in the 2004 draft. Over 476 career games, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.9 rebounds.
