Partizan confirms split with Jabari Parker, leaving the forward free to find a new club
Partizan confirmed on Thursday that it has ended its deal with Jabari Parker by mutual agreement. The Belgrade club and the American forward closed a collaboration that began in June 2025, when he signed a two-year contract. A former No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, Parker played 15 EuroLeague games last season, averaging 7.7 points and 2.5 rebounds, and spent the final stretch on loan at Joventut.

O Partizan encerrou formalmente a relação com Jabari Parker. O clube de Belgrado confirmou nesta quinta-feira que ele e o ala americano chegaram a um acordo mútuo para rescindir o contrato, resolvendo uma questão que se arrastava desde o verão europeu.
Parker voltou a circular pelo time quando o empréstimo ao Joventut terminou, mas nunca reingressou de fato ao grupo. Agora o clube confirmou que as duas partes encontraram uma solução e fecharam a parceria.
“O jogador e o clube encontraram hoje uma solução e, com satisfação das duas partes, chegaram a um acordo para encerrar a colaboração”, afirmou o Partizan, acrescentando votos de sucesso ao atleta no que vier pela frente.
O ala havia assinado em junho de 2025, com contrato de duas temporadas, depois de dois anos defendendo a camisa do Barcelona, e chegou como ex-escolha número 2 do Draft da NBA — uma contratação que prometia muito mais do que entregou.
Em fevereiro de 2026 já estava emprestado ao Joventut até o fim daquela temporada, movimento que sinalizava o pouco espaço que tinha nos planos do clube.
O registro dele no Partizan na Euroliga 2025-26 soma 15 jogos, 7,7 pontos e 2,5 rebotes de média.
Quando voltou da Espanha, o verão deixou o quadro claro: a comissão técnica não estava montando o time com ele para a nova campanha, e o contrato seguia valendo. É esse nó que o acordo desata.
Com a saída resolvida, Parker pode procurar outro clube, enquanto o Partizan segue adiante sem um jogador que nunca encaixou de fato.
