Charles Bassey, a 24-year-old Nigerian center, is in advanced discussions with Partizan Belgrade, according to Meridian Sport on July 27, 2025. The former Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs player, whose agent Mark McNeil confirmed Partizan as a priority, is considering a move to the EuroLeague, marking a potential new chapter after his recent Summer League stint with the Boston Celtics.
NBA Experience and Summer League Standout
Drafted 53rd overall by the 76ers in 2021 after three years at Western Kentucky, Bassey has played 113 NBA games, averaging 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds. His G League tenure earned him All-Defensive Team honors, and this month, he impressed with a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds against the Knicks in the Summer League, highlighting his defensive and rebounding skills.
Tactical Fit for Partizan’s Frontcourt
Partizan, aiming to bolster their roster, sees Bassey’s versatility across the four and five positions as a key asset. His proven defensive prowess and rebounding ability, honed in the NBA and G League, align with the team’s strategy to strengthen their interior game for a competitive 2025-26 EuroLeague season.
