Partizán Loans Jabari Parker to Joventut for Remainder of Season

The Badalona club brings back the former No. 2 pick to replace injured forward Sam Dekker.

Overview

  • The move marks Parker’s return to Spain following two seasons with FC Barcelona and adds significant NBA and Euro experience.
  • The signing is framed as a reinforcement as Joventut prepares to host the Basketball Champions League Final Four and seeks home-court advantage in the quarterfinals.
