Partizan Belgrade signs Antonio Rivers and Robert Franks

Basketball club Partizan Belgrade has strengthened its roster with two significant signings: American guard Antonio Rivers and forward Robert Franks.

Antonio Rivers, a former NBA player with stints at the New Orleans Pelicans and Charlotte Hornets, has arrived in Belgrade. A former Kentucky and Illinois State standout, Rivers is expected to bolster Partizan's perimeter scoring and defensive capabilities. Spanish media have highlighted him as one of the best shooting guards available on the market.

Additionally, Partizan has secured Robert Franks, a versatile wing center with extensive international experience. Franks joins the team after terminating his contract with the Nanjing Monkey Kings in China. His career includes playing in the NBA, the Australian NBL, and the Japanese B.League, where he was a dominant force for Nagoya and Ibaraki.
