Luca Vildoza: It is not goodbye. I will pursue my NBA dream to the end

Luca Vildoza underwent an operation on his right foot as the player announced on Twitter after the end of the contract with New York Knicks.

The New York Kinicks signed the Argentinian guard to a four-year deal in May, but there was no guaranteed money and he never played for the team.

New York had until 11:59PM ET on Oct. 21 to place waivers on Vildoza or his $3.32M contract would have been guaranteed. https://t.co/eyh0nDHnav

Hola a todos. Les quiero contar que finalmente hoy me operé del pie derecho, que estoy bien y que apenas los doctores me lo permitan, comenzaré con la recuperación para volver a jugar. Estoy tranquilo. Pasé meses difíciles. pic.twitter.com/hssQkYTsBJ
