Overview
- Partizan announced on Friday that it has completed the signing of 29-year-old power forward Robert Franks to a EuroLeague contract.
- Franks went undrafted out of Washington State in 2019, won the 2021 G League title with Lakeland and received a seven-game NBA call-up with the Orlando Magic.
- He arrives from recent stints in Australia, Israel, Japan and China, bringing international experience that complements Partizan’s existing frontcourt.
- The move follows Antonio Reeves’ arrival earlier the week and is meant to deepen Joan Penarroya’s rotation as Partizan balances a congested schedule.
- Partizan leads Group B of the ABA League at 3–0 while reports list its EuroLeague record as either 3–3 or 4–3, leaving the club on the edge of the Play-In cutoff and underlining the need for added frontcourt minutes and roster flexibility.
