Jabari Parker's basketball career continues on.
The Duke Blue Devils legend has his next professional basketball home. He signed Friday with KK Partizan, a team based in Belgrade, Serbia.
Parker hasn't played in the NBA since January 2022 with Boston.
He most recently played for Barcelona. In 2024-25, he averaged 13.0 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in Spanish League games, and 13.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in EuroLeague games.

Parker mutually parted ways with Barcelona earlier this month, ending a contract that was supposed to last one more season.
In 2014, Parker was the No. 2 overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks.
His NBA career featured averages of 14.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game across time with the Bucks, Bulls, Wizards, Hawks, Kings and Celtics.
Parker tore his left ACL twice, first as a rookie and again in 2017.

He was once a freshman phenom for Duke who went one-and-done to the NBA.
Before that, he was one of the most-hyped prospects to ever come out of Chicago.
There's no telling how good Parker may have been if his knees held up.
But they didn't, and now his basketball career continues in Serbia.
