Based on his comments, he clearly still wants to play in the NBA at 36.

That said, there is only a month until training camp begins, so it will be interesting to see if a team is willing to give him a contract.

Marjanovic has always been a well-liked player over his nine seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers.
