Reigning MVP Jaylen Adams has declared he most likely won't return to the NBL this season, but the pressure on new imports to perform remains.
It was speculated Adams could re-join the Australian league after parting ways with Serbian side, Crvena zvezda.
The ex-Sydney Kings star had been linked to Brisbane after the Bullets released import Devondrick Walker.
Melbourne United has also been mentioned as a potential landing spot with the club’s imports Rayjon Tucker and Jordan Caroline struggling.
Adams, though, says his heart lies with the Kings if he was to return to the NBL, but it’s not on his radar as cashed up European clubs circle for his signature.

"Sydney is home and not without IC (Ian Clark) or 'Rell (Jarell Martin), so probably no for this year," Adams told Crosscourt.
