Suns guard Goran Dragic has clarified recent comments made to a Greek journalist about leaving the NBA to return to Europe.

Dragic is under contract with Phoenix through the 2011-12 season.

"This news is not correct, because I made a statement that I want to end my basketball career in Europe. So this is a big misunderstanding of the Greek (journalist)," Dragic wrote in an e-mail to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic.

"In this moment I'm very happy in the NBA and I'm not going to Europe! I am a member of the Phoenix Suns, and my desire is to stay in Phoenix for many years!"
