Deni Avdija will resume his season with Maccabi Tel Aviv when the Israeli basketball league returns Sunday.

Avdija is projected high lottery pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

"Before I go to the U.S., I have a job to finish here in Israel," Avdija wrote in an email to ESPN. "As a competitor I am committed to my organization and teammates to help bring a championship to Tel Aviv. We were having such a great season, so winning the title, even with the delay and without live fans, will give me a sense that the hard work paid off."

Avdija is averaging 12.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27 minutes per game.

Bryan Colangelo has purchased an ownership stake and will assume an advisory role with the Illawarra Hawks of Australia's National Basketball League.

Colangelo is partnering with Australian (Dorry Kordahi) and American (Michael Proctor) businessmen to purchase a stake in the team.

Colangelo, however, won't have a role running the franchise as a president or general manager.

Colangelo recently interviewed for the VP of Basketball Operations position with the Chicago Bulls, which ultimately went to Arturas Karnisovas.

LaMelo Ball also pursued a purchase of Illawarra.

Nikola Milutinov has signed a three-year contract with CSKA Moscow.

Milutinov was a first round pick by the San Antonio Spurs in 2015.

Milutinov had spent the previous five seasons with Olympiacos.
