Asisa Joventut is considering signing Jabari Parker for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, according to Jordi Valle Simo, citing a report by Xavi Ballesteros on Catalunya Radio.
With his playing time at Partizan Mozzart Bet decreasing, and head coach Joan Penarroya recently stating the 30-year-old power forward needs to improve his fitness to regain a consistent status, Parker is reportedly receptive to the move. He views Badalona as a vital opportunity to regain his elite form within familiar surroundings.
The Basketball Champions League Season X, powered by Ameresco SUNEL, deadline for participants to complete roster changes is on March 31.

A former Duke standout and the second overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Parker made 321 appearances in the North American league before joining FC Barcelona in 2023. Following two productive seasons with the rival Catalonia outfit, he transitioned to the Belgrade outfit this past June.
During the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season, Parker averaged 7.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 0.7 assists over 15 appearances. In six AdmiralBet ABA League games, he recorded 9.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest. However, he has struggled to earn playing time, especially since the reunion with his former Barcelona boss in late December.
Meanwhile, Badalona, led by head coach Daniel Miret, was recently awarded hosting rights for this season’s BCL Final Four. The squad has reached the Round of 16 and currently holds a strong 3-1 record in Group K. Domestically, their 11-8 tally places them in a tie for seventh in the Liga Endesa standings, as they push for a high playoff seed.
