Nick Calathes: Planning return to NBA
Calathes plans to return to the NBA for the 2018-19 season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Calathes' last NBA action came during the 2014-15 campaign with the Grizzlies, when he averaged 4.2 points, 2.5 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 14.4 minutes. He's since been playing overseas, most recently establishing himself as an MVP candidate for Panathinaikos of the EuroLeague. With Panathinaikos, Calathes has averaged 14.5 points, 8.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds, which has now resulted in plenty of interest from NBA teams. Because of his improvement as a playmaker, Calathes is expected to have multiple NBA suitors once free agency opens, though he'll likely have to settle for a backup role in most situations.

Nick Calathes: Will remain in Greece this season
Calathes has elected to remain with Panathinaikos of the Greek Basketball League for the 2016-17 season, international basketball writer David Pick reports.
The Kings were apparently exploring the possibility of luring Calathes back to the NBA due to his familiarity with new coach Dave Joerger, who had previously worked with the point guard during his time with the Grizzlies. However, with Calathes entering the second season of a three-year, $7 million pact with Panathinaikos, the 27-year-old elected to stay in Europe, where he'll likely earn a higher salary than he would have at the NBA level. Calathes could entertain a return to North America in 2017-18 if he continues to perform well for the Greek club during the upcoming campaign.
