After signing Danilo Andjusic and Dante Exum, Partizan NIS Belgrade don't seem eager to stop.

James Nunnally has agreed to join the Serbian powerhouse until the end of the 2022-23 season. Partizan already tried to bring in Nunnally on one occasion, but then, his contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv got in the way.

Nunnally, 32, had a great season in Israel, averaging 13.8 points and 3.9 rebounds in the EuroLeague.

In addition to Maccabi, Nunnally played for Fenerbahce, AX Armani Exchange Milan (Olimpia Milano), Avelino, Maccabi Ashod, Estudiantes and Kavala. In China, he played for the Shanghai Sharks.

The new Partizan NIS basketball player was born on July 14, 1990 in California, and in addition to his experience in Europe and Asia, he also has some NBA experience with Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, Minnesota and New Orleans.

The former Fenerbahce player was a free agent, something that Partizan took advantage of and signed a player who was labeled as one of Zeljko Obradovic's pets during their  time together at Fenerbahce, between 2016 and 2018. The two won the 2017 EuroLeague crown in Istanbul.

Earlier today, Partizan released their former captain Rade Zagorac, who will continue his career away from Serbia.
