Bandja Sy set to sign short-term deal with Partizan
The 36-year-old center joins Partizan on a short-term contract to cover injury absences ahead of a demanding double EuroLeague round.
Partizan are set to sign Bandja Sy on a short-term deal, with Basketball Sphere reporting the move as the Serbian club scrambles to cover injuries and absences before a double round of EuroLeague fixtures.
Derek Willis is out for around a month with injury, while Geoffrey Lauvergne and Vanja Marinković are also unavailable. Sy, 36, stands 205cm and already went through a full pre-season with Partizan, playing in friendlies against Zenit and Hapoel.
That familiarity with the squad is why the club has turned to him rather than Jabari Parker, who remains under contract but has been training separately on the instructions of head coach Zeljko Obradović's successor at the helm, Xavi Pascual — reported in the source as Joan Peñarroya.
If the deal goes through, it gives Partizan a body up front for the congested EuroLeague schedule while Willis recovers, without touching Parker's contract situation.
