The rumors have finally been confirmed. Since July, and his dismissal from the Hornets, the name ofAlexei Pokusevsky was circulating on the side of Partizan Belgrade. Unable to find a contract in the NBA, the European option therefore gained weight until it became a reality according to Sportklub information. The Serbian will thus be reunited with another former Charlotte player: Frank Ntilikina. The recently won silver medal at the Paris Olympics signed with Partizan several weeks ago. Both will play under the orders of Zeljko Obradovic, one of the best coaches in history.
With this return to Europe – he spent time with Olympiacos before arriving in the United States – Aleksej Pokusevski's NBA career is now on hold.
Drafted in 17th position in 2020 by the Wolves, the 22-year-old player has never really managed to establish himself in the Big League. First at the Thunder, where he was affected by injuries, then for a few weeks at Charlotte. In four years, he will have played 168 matches and scored 7.5 points on average in 20 minutes.
