Malcolm Brogdon Wants To Play For Polish National Team

Mar 3, 2022 9:37 AM

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon would like to suit up for Poland's national team in future international competitions. Reports out of Poland are that they will look to make Brogdon a naturalized citizen to make him eligible for Polish National Team.

Brogdon traveled through Poland extensively last summer, and his wife has Polish roots. The belief is that Brogdon would like to play at the national team level, and his prospects for doing so with Team USA are limited.

Poland has featured Baylor Bears forward Jeremy Sochan on their roster in recent events. Sochan became the youngest player to play for the Polish senior team, when he led Poland over Romania in a EuroBasket qualifier. Poland hopes that Brogdon and Sochan can take them to new heights on the national team level.
