Didn't see this posted anywhere so apologies if I missed it being done so previously.
On his health:
For Koloko, who’s now back living in L.A., “it’s been really difficult,” but he’s “feeling good. ... I don’t know when I’ll be back,” he said.
“This has been the toughest moment of my life,” said Koloko. “I’ve never had injuries or anything. This year I was basically out the whole year, so it’s really tough mentally, physically. But I think I’m built for that and I’m going to come back stronger. ... It’s tough, but at some point you gotta realize that you can’t do anything else. Just stay positive and try to recover. ... I just want to go out there and play basketball.”
Koloko said he’s still in the NBA’s Fitness-to-Play program, “but I’m progressing,” he said. If Koloko is cleared by the Fitness-to-Play Panel and ruled “medically able and medically fit to perform his duties as a professional basketball player,” he’s free to sign with any NBA team.
On his future in the NBA:
“I’m a free agent, so I’m just at home and seeing the doctors and whenever I get cleared, I’m going to find a new team,” Koloko said. “Wherever it is, I’m going to make it my new home. ... It’s been amazing being in the NBA. The NBA is the best league in the world and you can’t get any better than that. I’m grateful and thankful to be in that league.”
The 23-year-old Koloko didn’t rule out a return to the Raptors.
“Never say no. I don’t know what the future holds. I could be back with the Raptors in the future, maybe not,” he said. “I loved my time with the Raptors. They believed in me, they drafted me, so I’m thankful for them supporting me.”
