New York Knicks‘ backup point guard Pablo Prigioni enjoyed a nice rookie season in the NBA at the young age of 35. He was a productive member of the Knicks’ second unit and had a great season shooting the ball. He made 45.5 percent of his shots and 39.6 percent of his 3-pointers. During the playoffs, he started 10 of the 11 games he played in and helped the Knicks advance to Game 6 of the second round.

Prigioni isn’t sure whether he’ll return to the Knicks next season. Marc Berman of the New York Post is reporting that it’s possible he’ll return to Spain to play professional basketball because his wife wants to be back there.

Point guard Pablo Prigioni faces a tough decision on whether to stay in the NBA or return to the Spanish League next season, because his wife, Raquel, wants to return overseas, according to a source.

Prigioni on Saturday continued to be noncommittal on whether he wants to return to the Knicks.

“I think it’s not the moment to talk about that now,” Prigioni said after the Game 6 playoff ouster. “It’s painful to lose. It’s painful to start the vacation now. This is about the team. Now I stay quiet.”

I’m really happy, but for me it’s only about the team. It’s not about one guy or two guys. You can’t believe how happy I am now. I’m really happy with this team. We played good, and for me the most important thing always is the team… [The alley-oop to Chandler] maybe was the key moment. We started to play good on offense. We get stops, we run and everything started to be on our side… I love [getting a chance to finish the game]. I love to be on the court in the important moments because I used to do this in the last 10, 15 years. But I understand here, I have great players on the team, great teammates, so much experience in the NBA playoffs, so I try to give all my energy in the minutes that the coach thinks I must be on the court. When I’m on the bench, I try to support the guys and I have nothing to complain about that. Today, I have the chance to play that important minutes, I’m really happy. Maybe the next game, no. But I’m ready to play one minute or 25 minutes.
