The Denver Nuggets seemingly thought they might have had something with young guard Bones Hyland. Hyland, who had shown flashes during his time with the Nuggets of being an above-average player, mainly in his rookie season when he averaged 10.1 points and shot 40.3% from the field and 36.6% from 3-point range.
However, Hyland hasn’t been great in other stops, and given some of the other situations that he’s found himself in, with some complaints about what he’s doing on the court and in the locker room by many, some have questioned whether he’ll be in the NBA for any longer.
The Nuggets eventually cut ties with him, a decision that made sense. He’s spent the past four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves, but has seen limited playing time, appearing in just 24 games last season between the two teams.

And according to a recent report from Matteo Adreani, it’s possible that Hyland won’t be in the NBA for much longer. He noted that there’s a team in the Serbian League, Crvena Zvezda, that would like to sign him.
“Bones Hyland is a strong name for Crvena Zvezda, as reported yesterday by @petacetvrtina_. Crvena Zvezda wants another big signing after Devonte Graham,” he wrote.
It’s possible that Hyland could go overseas and try to raise his stock a bit. Players have done that in the past, and it could work, but it’s also possible that he could be playing himself out of the NBA.
Regardless of what happens, he has to figure that out sometime over the next few weeks to months.
