You have confirmed that you want to play the Summer League and the Eurobasket. Usman Garuba: Yes, of course. What I need now is to play games. After a season where I suffered some injuries, I started to play regularly by the end of March. Just when we played the last game I was like ‘Is that it? I want to play more!’ The Rockets know that if I’m healthy, I want to play for the Spanish team – if they call me – and they’re OK with it. -via HoopsHype / May 9, 2022
