Without a club since February, Frank Ntilikina had announced that he would think about his future after the Olympic Games, his priority for the summer. But according to Sport club, the former leader of the Knicks and Mavericks has already found his new club, and it is Partizan Belgrade, one of the big European teams. The Frenchman arrives in the company of Sterling Brown, former winger of the Bucks and Rockets. On Instagramthe leader of the Blues confirmed the information by publishing a post with two colored dots: one white and one black.
Before him, Dante Exum had passed through the Serbian club, before relaunching in the NBA, and Ntilikina will be able to find playing time and a sporting challenge after a failed stint at the Hornets: five matches played.
Waiting for a ticket to the Euroleague
As for Brown, he is coming out of a first season in the Euroleague, with Alba Berlin. A complete winger, he played 29 games with the German team for averages of 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
For the moment, Zeljko Obradovic's Partizan does not have its ticket to the Euroleague, after its defeat in the final against Red Star Belgrade. But optimism is required among the famous Serbian coach, as he confided it last May. “I am sure that Partizan will play in the Euroleague. I'm convinced. I hope they (Euroleague) make this decision. It was not about victory or defeat, because what Partizan deserves to participate in the Euroleague. We will try to do everything to be a member of the Euroleague (next season)”
