Jabari Parker remains a financial burden for Partizan Belgrade

Jabari Parker remains a significant financial burden for Partizan Belgrade as the American forward continues to train with the team without being included in coach Željko Obradović’s active plans. Despite being sidelined, Parker is receiving his full salary, which is reported to be approximately $2 million to $2.5 million for the current season.

Partizan and Parker’s representatives have sought a resolution, including potential moves to the Chinese market or a return to Barcelona, though previous attempts failed due to financial constraints. While rumors have linked him to Armani Milano, no official approach has been made. The primary obstacle to a transfer is his high salary, as few EuroLeague teams are willing or able to cover his full compensation.

Potential destinations for the 31-year-old former NBA player include Barcelona, where he previously performed well, and Besiktas, which has recently returned to the EuroLeague. Parker has not played in the EuroLeague since January 9, following his stint with Barcelona last season.
