Uros Trifunovic joins Houston Rockets’ Summer League roster

Uros Trifunovic, 24, is making his first attempt to make it onto an NBA roster.

The Serbian has been playing in Europe for the past seven seasons, spending six years with Partizan, before joining Turkish side Tofas in 2024.

Now with his contract in Turkey expired, Trifunovic is ready to try his luck in the NBA. He had originally declared in 2020 before withdrawing.

Trifunovic has represented Serbia at full international level and at youth level, winning a gold medal at the under-18 Fiba World Cup. While at Partizan he won the Serbian Cup twice.

According to Eurohoops Turkey, Trifunovic averaged 11.4 points per game playing for Tofas last season, who finished fourth in the league.

For the Rockets he is worth taking a flier on, but Trifunovic will really have to impress to make it onto their very competitive squad.
