A former Milwaukee Bucks second-round pick is heading to a new club in Europe.
Jordan Nwora was a second-round pick by the Bucks out of Louisville. A collegiate star, Nwora never quite had the same success with the Bucks or Pacers as he did with the Cardinals.
He already was a European player this past season, in Turkey for Anadolu Efes.
Now, Nwora is on to a new adventure.
He’s joining Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade, Serbia, according to EuroHoops.

Nwora is now 26 years old. The Buffalo, N.Y. native is getting to see the very wide world of basketball that’s out there after playing 206 NBA games.
He averaged 15 points per game in league play for Anadolu Efes in 2024-25. They also played in the EuroLeague competition across the continent, in which Nwora put up 8.4 points per game.
Nwora seems unlikely to ever make it back to the NBA. But he’s got a chance at a long and successful hoops career in Europe.
