Nurkic Says He Has No Known Offer From Partizan and Is Exploring New Opportunities

His podcast denial clears up long-running Partizan rumors and signals he plans to pursue free-agent options in the NBA.

Overview

  • Jusuf Nurkic told the X and O’s Podcast that, “to my knowledge,” he has not received a formal offer from Partizan and added that he wishes he had.
  • He reiterated that he likes Partizan but pushed back on fan and media speculation about an imminent move to the Belgrade club.
  • Nurkic said he is now looking for new jobs, a remark that framed his current status as an unrestricted free agent after the season with the Utah Jazz.
  • He finished the season with Utah averaging 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and a career-high 4.8 assists while missing time for injuries and nasal surgery.
  • Partizan remains a high-profile European option in public conversation, but Nurkic’s caveated denial leaves the next steps dependent on any future formal offers or NBA negotiations.
