New Jersey Nets guard Sasha Vujacic has signed with a Turkish team for next season. Anadolu Efes said Friday the 27-year old Slovenian guard agreed to a one-year deal with an optional second year.

Vujacic logged 30 minutes, the fourth time in five games he's played at least that long. He's scored at least 13 points in seven of his past outings, and he's now averaging 14.3 points this month.
Sasha Vujacic was the second option, supposed to get the ball if the New Jersey Nets couldn't get it to Brook Lopez. That's exactly what happened, so who cares that it wasn't exactly how the Nets planned it? Vujacic made the tiebreaking basket with 5.3 seconds left, and the Nets snapped their five-game losing streak with a 96-94 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
The News
Sasha Vujacic (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game, according to Al Iannazzone.
Our View
Vujacic suffered a minor hamstring injury recently, but he'll likely give it a go against the Magic. He's been a nice player off the bench for the Nets, though his value will drop when Anthony Morrow returns.
