Filip Petrušev has not exercised his option to terminate his Olympiacos contract for another European club, according to Eurohoops. The Serbian center retains a 15-day window to find an NBA offer and activate his NBA clause, leaving his next move uncertain while he remains with Olympiacos.

Stellar Season with Crvena Zvezda

During his 2024-25 loan at Crvena Zvezda, Petrušev shone as the team’s top scorer in the EuroLeague, averaging 14.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, with a 16.5 efficiency rating over the season, fueling interest from both Europe and the NBA.

Crossroads of Career Ambitions

At 2.11 m, Petrušev’s versatility and scoring prowess make him a prized asset. Olympiacos holds his contract unless an NBA opportunity arises, while Crvena Zvezda’s success with him on loan hints at potential future negotiations, balancing his EuroLeague dominance with NBA aspirations.
