Casper Ware opts out of deal with Sydney Kings

Ware: My hope is that someday we can bring the ‘Chip back to where it belongs

Casper Ware has decided to opt out of this deal with the Sydney Kings, as first reported by ESPN Australia.

Ware was the highest paid import in the NBL this past season, sources said, but would have seen his 2020-21 salary cut by 50 percent due to the new agreement, ESPN reports.

“I’m sad to announce today that due to the financial situation of the NBL and Covid-19 that I am opting out of my contract for the 2020-21 season. My agent and I will still be in talks with the Kings and if the financial situation changes then we may be able to make something work in the future” Ware shared.

“I want to thank the Sydney Kings organiztion, my teammates, coaches and the great city of Sydney for always having our backs this season. I’m disappointed that we didn’t get to finish the season the way we wanted and bring the trophy back to Sydney”.

“My hope is that someday we can bring the ‘Chip back to where it belongs” Ware said.
