Nazr Mohammed still isn't sure if he'll be playing in the NBA next year, but he will take part in next week's NBA Africa Game, the league's first exhibition in the continent.

Mohammed, whose parents are from Ghana, was added to Team Africa, which is being captained by former Bulls forward Luol Deng. Pau Gasol will play for Team World in the Aug. 1 game at Ellis Park Arena in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Mohammed, a 17-year veteran, appeared in just 23 games last year in his third season with the Bulls and recently wrote on his website that he's contemplating retirement, penning that "I'm currently at a point where I'm trying to decide what to do next."

Mohammed added in the blog post that his body feels great, there are about "8-9 teams that I would consider playing for" and hinted he has options to join a front office to move toward his goal of becoming an NBA general manager. He also admitted to catching the "broadcast bug" attending the NBAPA's "Sportscaster U" program at Syracuse University.
