Partizan weighs options: Frank Ntilikina likely to stay

Partizan Belgrade is actively building its roster for the upcoming season with several high-profile signings, including Shake Milton, Jabari Parker, and Dylan Osetkowski. While some players are expected to depart, the future of Frank Ntilikina remains uncertain, with indications pointing toward an unexpected outcome.

Despite efforts to transfer Iffe Lundberg elsewhere, internal discussions suggest Ntilikina may stay with the club. According to Mozzart Sport, the coaching staff favors retaining the French international due to concerns that securing a stronger replacement would be challenging at this stage of the offseason.

Ntilikina’s debut season with Partizan was hampered by injuries, limiting his contributions, though he averaged 7 points and 2 assists per game in the EuroLeague. The club appears willing to offer him another opportunity, mirroring its reported approach with forward Isiaha Mike, whose season was similarly disrupted by fitness issues.
