Make that 3 centers under 25. Thought there was a federal statute prohibiting the signing of an Iranian player. Hopefully it was waived. If not, this could get sticky.

good pick up. Saw him at the revue first hand and he looked very mobile for such a big guy. Hurt his knee/ankle in the game vs. the Jazz. Obviously wasn't a big deal as he played extremely well in the Olympics.

It was all over the news that the NBA got clearance from the State Department for all NBA and NBDL franchises to contact/sign him. No issues here whatsoever.
