Partizan Mozzart Bet officially confirmed on Thursday morning that Jabari Parker has been loaned to Asisa Joventut for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. The 30-year-old power forward makes his return to Spain after struggling to maintain a consistent role in Belgrade, where he averaged 7.7 points in EuroLeague play and 9.1 points in the ABA League this season. Under the terms of the agreement, the Badalona-based club will assume a portion of the wages from the two-year contract Parker signed with Partizan last June.
Building on excitement surrounding recent rumors, the move marks a significant reinforcement for Joventut as they prepare to host the Final Four of the Basketball Champions League Season X, powered by Ameresco SUNEL. Parker, a former number two overall NBA draft pick with 321 games of experience, is no stranger to the region following a productive two-year stint with FC Barcelona. He joins the team coached by Daniel Miret and veteran floor general Ricky Rubio on top of the Round of 16’s Group K with a 3-1 record, positioned perfectly to secure homecourt advantage for the Quarterfinals and make a deep run toward a championship on their home floor.
A former player of the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, and Sacramento Kings in the NBA between 2014 and 2022, the Chicago native increased his total of EuroLeague games played to 92 since joining Partizan. In addition, he carries the experience of 74 games played in Spain’s Liga Endesa with Barca from 2023 to 2025.
