Carlik Jones officially signed for Partizan this week following his run with South Sudan at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The 26-year-old added that he turned down NBA offers to join Partizan.
“There were a few offers from the NBA, but not as many as reported. Many people were worried and nervous, but you shouldn’t believe everything that is written. It’s true that I received some offers, but I knew from the beginning that Partizan was the ideal club for me,” said Jones.
Jones appeared in seven games for the Bulls during the 2022-23 season.
