Tonye Jekiri Joins Partizan: Nigerian Center Bolsters EuroLeague Squad!

Nigerian ex-international center Tonye Jekiri has signed with Partizan Mozzart Bet Beograd, adding size and experience to the EuroLeague team. The 31-year-old veteran brings a wealth of experience to the Serbian club.

KK Partizan Mozzart Bet Beograd has strengthened their roster with the addition of Nigerian center Tonye Jekiri. The 31-year-old, standing at 212cm and weighing 111kg, previously played for CSKA. Jekiri is an experienced player who brings size and rebounding to the Partizan frontcourt. He graduated from the University of Miami in 2016 and has since built a solid career playing professionally around the world.

Jekiri's arrival addresses a need for Partizan, who were looking to add depth to their frontcourt rotation. His experience in both the EuroLeague and ABA League will be valuable as Partizan competes on multiple fronts. He's known for his rebounding prowess and defensive presence, which should complement the team's existing offensive firepower.

With Jekiri now in the fold, Partizan will look to integrate him quickly into their system. His performance will be key as they navigate a challenging EuroLeague schedule and aim to defend their KLS title. The move signifies Partizan's commitment to competing at the highest level and their continued investment in building a strong, well-rounded team.
