Noa Dalzell on Charles Bassey: Still not sure just exactly how interested the Celtics are but I don't think that door is completely shut the way that it appeared. But I do think that he's still eyeing a return to the NBA next season after four years playing in the NBA.
Celtics Summer League standout center Charles Bassey is not planning on playing overseas next season, sources told CelticsBlog. Multiple outlets previously reported that he was seriously considering signing with the Serbian club Partizan Belgrade, but he currently plans to play in the NBA next season. Bassey would especially love to sign with the Celtics if the opportunity presented itself, sources said. How realistic that might be remains to be seen.
Partizan recently acquired former Los Angeles Lakers guard Shake Milton, but the Belgrade club is reportedly looking for more NBA reinforcements. The Serbian powerhouse is interested in former Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs center Charles Bassey. “Charles is honored by the interest shown by Basketball Club Partizan. He is definitely considering the offer and will continue discussions with the club and his representative. Other European clubs have also contacted him, but Partizan has been his priority,” Bassey’s representative Mark McNeil told Meridian Sport.
Veteran big man Charles Bassey was a late addition to Boston’s summer squad but had an impressive debut, registering 14 points and 11 rebounds in just 18 minutes. Bassey, who battled injuries while playing for the 76ers and Spurs over the last four seasons, said he is now healthy and eager for another shot. “He’s a guy that’s probably playing for what’s next,” Stevens said. “I just think he’s a guy we’ve paid attention to from afar for a long time. We’re watching all these guys all the time, and I thought he did a really good job yesterday. He probably was the biggest reason we won the game, I thought.”
