    Free-agent guard Nando de Colo turned down a two-year offer to return to the Toronto Raptors to accept a deal with CSKA Moscow, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

    DeColo came to the Raptors in a February trade from the San Antonio Spurs, and general manager Masai Ujiri had offered to bring him back on a deal. Nevertheless, Colo accepted the CSKA offer on Monday.

    Toronto is working to re-sign restricted free agent Greivis Vasquez, and secured starting point guard Kyle Lowry with a four-year, $48 million contract last week.

    De Colo, 27, was a second-round pick of the Spurs in 2009. He signed with San Antonio in 2012 and played two seasons there until his trade to Toronto for Austin Daye in February.

    Good call on his part. In the little time he got in SA he looked a bit out of place in the league. His skills are probably best suited overseas.

    He looked a little out of place defensively in Toronto but contributed when Lowry was injured and helped win games. He wont be missed but he would have been welcomed had he decided to stay. Should end up being a great player in Russia and CSKA Moscow really picked up a great player for the European brand.
