Buzelis Trains with NBA Legend Dirk Nowitzki

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis has been undergoing training with NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki. Buzelis shared this development during a recent podcast appearance, highlighting that Nowitzki has been providing him with key shooting insights as he prepares for his third NBA season in 2026-27. Buzelis, who nearly doubled his scoring average in his second year, is focused on enhancing his skills.

During the podcast, former Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball commented on Buzelis' potential. Ball recounted instances where former coach Billy Donovan allegedly discouraged Buzelis from taking certain shots, expressing concern over such restrictive coaching impacting a player's mental game. Buzelis will have the opportunity to showcase his improved abilities alongside new teammates, including Caleb Wilson, in the upcoming season.
