Mario Hezonja’s NBA comeback is official—he’s signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers after six years in Europe, including stints with Real Madrid. Though he’ll likely start on the bench, expect him to be a vital spark for Cleveland. Before returning to the NBA hardwood, Hezonja’s representing Croatia in FIBA World Cup Qualifiers alongside NBA teammates Ivica Zubac and Dario Saric. He’s been unstoppable for Croatia, averaging 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists per game—and just became the first player in European World Cup qualifying history to record a triple-double. Croatia’s on fire with a 5-1 record, including a huge win over reigning world champs Germany, and they’re set to face Latvia and the Netherlands next. With 24 teams fighting for 12 spots, Hezonja and Co. are aiming for the 2027 tournament in Qatar—watch every game live on DAZN via Courtside 1891.
