The second-best basketball league on the planet is the EuroLeague, the continental competition pitting the best teams from different European countries against one another.
Why's that matter? Because the league's second-leading scorer will be very familiar to Miami Heat fans.
Sitting in second place in those scoring charts: Kendrick Nunn.
The left-handed dynamo averaged 20.0 points per game and 4.2 assists per contest in the 40-minute clashes.
He suited up this season for Panathinaikos out of Athens, Greece.
Nunn hasn't played in the NBA for either of the past two seasons.
His basketball journey has been a winding one. He was an unheralded rookie for the Heat, then had two high-scoring seasons to start his NBA career for Miami.

He missed a full season with injury, then split the 2022-23 season between the Lakers and Wizards, struggling much more.
That's when he went overseas.
There's been no immediate indication that Nunn wants to come back stateside, but he's put together the best film possible to get another chance.
He'll turn 30 in August, so this is probably his last, best chance to come back to the NBA.
There would certainly be suitors, and he's likely grown as a player as well in his time away.
Don't forget Nunn's name, because a savvy team might try to bring him back across the Atlantic.
