Nikola Mirotic has signed an extension with Barcelona through the 24-25 season.

Mirotic was previously on a deal through 2022 with an option for 2023.

Mirotic was named Liga Endesa MVP on the back of his 19.5 points and 5.7 rebounds a game.

“I’m very happy and very grateful to the club for this new opportunity," said Mirotic. "I’m happy to have extended my contract. 2025 sounds great. So many years wearing this shirt and hopefully achieving further success. I look forward to repaying that trust.

“The club has trusted in me ever since I arrived. Everyone knows it is never easy to come back from the US, but the club has given me everything. They wanted to bring me here, the fans have been good to me, the energy is great and I have often said how surprised I have seen to be so well received.”

Ty Lawson was cut from the Fujian Sturgeons in the Chinese Basketball Association due to "inappropriate comments" he made on social media.

Lawson, who lead Fujian to a playoff berth last season, had stayed in China during the CBA offseason.

The Sturgeons released a statement saying that Lawson violated the "social responsibilities and core values" of the team.

The 32-year-old Lawson has not commented on the departure.
