The story · English

According to the report published Thursday, July 18, 2026, Brown is expected to leave Partizan Belgrade and join Zalgiris as EuroLeague teams continue to shape their rosters for the 2026/27 season.

The Lithuanian champions also confirmed three departures on Thursday, announcing that Ignas Brazdeikis, Laurynas Birutis and Moses Wright are leaving after their contracts expired. Brazdeikis spent two seasons at the club, Birutis one season and Wright four seasons.

The same Serbian reports say Partizan is also interested in Eugene Omoruyi, amid other reports that Isaac Bonga is likely to depart. Omoruyi has been on Partizan's radar for some time, and the club now believes it can land him.
