Rumors

Partizan Belgrade have agreed to extend Frank Ntilikina’s contract for another year, keeping him with the team until 2027. The French guard accepted a significant pay cut. Though Monaco had shown interest this summer, Ntilikina expressed his desire to stay. “I’m more ready than ever, you will see the best version of me,” he said. After an injury-hit season, Ntilikina averaged 7 points and 2 assists in the EuroLeague, and 6.7 points per game in the ABA League.

Frank Ntilikina, Guerschon Yabusele and former EuroLeague MVP Nando de Colo all have NBA experience under their belts, as well. "We are lucky to have a team with experience, but we know if we want a chance to go all the way [we need] to be strong defensively. Our defense will fuel our attack," Gobert told reporters ahead of France's game against Brazil. "We are working very hard to be able to maximize our strengths and qualities with consistency."
