KK Zadar rejects Rade Zagorac signing over financial concerns

In regional basketball, KK Zadar’s Supervisory Board has officially rejected the signing of Rade Zagorac. While media speculation suggested the decision was based on the player’s Serbian nationality or his former captaincy at Partizan, the club issued a statement clarifying that the move was blocked due to financial considerations.
