Dylan Osetkowski and Partizan Belgrade have finalized a 1+1 (two-year) contract, as confirmed by BuzzSport.de on May 19, 2025, but the deal could be terminated due to a looming one-year FIBA suspension for a positive marijuana test, encestando.es reported on May 21, 2025. The 28-year-old American-German forward, previously with Unicaja Málaga, faces a sanction that has been pending since September 2024, casting uncertainty over his move to the Serbian club, which aims to bolster its roster for the upcoming Adriatic League and EuroLeague seasons under coach Željko Obradović.
Osetkowski has been a key performer for Unicaja, averaging 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds with a 42% three-point shooting rate in the 2024-25 Spanish Liga ACB season, and earning the 2024 FIBA Intercontinental Cup MVP with 15 points in the final (per footboom1.com). Despite the unresolved sanction, he has continued to play, helping Unicaja win back-to-back Basketball Champions League titles. The potential ban previously disrupted a reported three-year deal with FC Barcelona in 2024, and now threatens his fresh start with Partizan.
