NBA championship winner Andrew Bogut is coming home to the NBL next season after signing with the Sydney Kings.

The club and the player are expected to announce details of the move at a press release on Monday morning – but whether he has signed for one season or more, luring Bogut back to Australia is a huge endorsement for the Kings and the NBL.

The Kings put out a tweet on the signing on Sunday night.

The 33-year-old centre had said he was keen to play at least one more year in the NBA and then retire to Australia as he is focused on remaining in the Boomers side for next year’s FIBA World Cup in China and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
