Serbian Center Dusan Miljic Nears Signing With Hapoel Jerusalem Basketball Club
Hapoel Jerusalem announced the signing of center Devonte Kakoc on July 10, 2026, but reports indicate the club is also close to acquiring another tall player, Serbian center Dusan Miljic. Miljic, 27 years old and standing 2.15 meters tall, played last season for Cluj in Romania, where he was one of the standout centers in the EuroCup, averaging 12.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
After the Romanian season ended in early June, Miljic moved to Lebanon to play for Al Riyadi, reportedly motivated by exceptional financial terms. He has appeared in only one playoff game for Al Riyadi so far, scoring 18 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. Al Riyadi is set to begin its semifinal series today, and it remains to be seen if Miljic will participate.
The potential signing of Miljic would add significant height and experience to Hapoel Jerusalem's roster as they prepare for the upcoming season. Further details about the transfer are expected soon.
