According to unofficial information from Mozzart Sport, the Serbian powerhouse has reached an agreement with Australian guard-forward Dante Exum.

After a somewhat slow start at FC Barcelona, Exum became an increasingly important factor in the Catalans' game as the season progressed and played some of his best games right at the end of the playoffs, in the title games against Real Madrid.

Over 25 EuroLeague games with Barca, the 26-year-old averaged 6.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists, as opposed to 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 dimes in the ACB League.

Exum spent seven seasons in the NBA, is a bronze medalist at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. He missed the 2015-16 season completely due to an operation in the anterior cruciate ligaments of the left knee. In October 2017, he was operated on his shoulder and returned to the floor in March of the following year, only to miss almost the entire debut season in Houston (2021) due to frequent injuries.

Born in Melbourne, the 5th pick of Utah in the 2014 NBA Draft knows well what Partizan is in European basketball, since he heard about the most trophy-winning Serbian club from his former teammates. 

"I think the decisive desire was to play in front of their fans. I've always been a fan. You know, one of my teammates loved Partizan and always showed me videos of his team's matches and Partizan's crazy fans - especially games vs. Red Star, so I think that attracted me the most. Then I came to Barcelona," the Aussie player recently said.
