Partizan Belgrade Signs Center Kabarius Hayes as First Summer Acquisition
Partizan Belgrade has officially signed center Kabarius Hayes, marking their first major signing of the summer ahead of the upcoming EuroLeague season. The Serbian club, which faced a challenging previous season, strengthened its frontcourt after parting ways with Bruno Fernando. Hayes, 29, who was also considered by Maccabi Tel Aviv, has agreed to a two-year contract and will make Belgrade his seventh European team.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is also set to bolster its frontcourt following the departure of Moses Wright and the signing of Josh Nibbs. The Spanish club is close to finalizing the return of Polish center Olek Balcerowski, 25, who played last season with Malaga. According to Spanish media, all parties have reached an agreement, and Balcerowski is expected to join Barcelona shortly, bringing additional depth to their EuroLeague roster.
These moves reflect a busy and competitive transfer market in European basketball, promising an exciting EuroLeague season ahead with significant player acquisitions across top teams.
