Tyrique Jones and Jabari Parker were included in a trip for Partizan Mozzart Bet, ahead of Round 19 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season and a clash with Valencia in Roig Arena on Tuesday.
Both players are among the candidates for an imminent departure, with Olympiacos monitoring the situation surrounding 28-year-old Jones. They were also in the lineup for Sunday’s meeting with Split in Belgrade’s Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, with Jones logging 14 minutes and Parker remaining out of the rotation for the team coached by Joan Penarroya.
Nevertheless, the US imports are widely expected to move on, probably within the next few days, with the EuroLeague deadline for players switching sides in the league. Players must be removed from the continental rosters of the previous teams before January 5 to remain eligible to play in Europe’s premier club competition in the remainder of the season.
Over 16 appearances, including six starts in the ongoing installment of the EuroLeague, the former Xavier standout has put up 10.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks per contest. The Duke product and veteran of 321 NBA games has 8.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks per contest over 12 appearances, including eight starts.
Entering the next EuroLeague challenge, Partizan carries a 6-12 W-L tally, which is four games away from a ticket to the Play-In Showdown, with 20 fixtures left in the double-legged round-robin schedule. Meanwhile, the comfortable win versus Split improved the AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season record to 9-1, one game behind undefeated Group A leader Dubai.
