Frank Ntilikina, French point guard and recent silver medallist at the Paris Olympics has started his training with Partizan Mozzart Bet according to Teleport.

Head coach Zeljko Obradovic highlighted the significance of allowing Ntilikina a brief rest due to the intense pre-season demands.

Obradovic also extended this option to key players Vanja Marinkovic and Isaac Bonga, though both opted to continue their full training regimes, showcasing their dedication to the team.

Born on July 28, 1998, in Belgium, Ntilikina began his professional career with Strasbourg in 2015 and was selected 8th overall in the 2017 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks.

His NBA career, which lasted until 2023, included stints with the New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks, and Charlotte Hornets, where he built a reputation for his defensive skills and potential impact.

Having played over 330 NBA games, Ntilikina has returned to Europe to join Partizan, bringing with him a wealth of experience from top-tier leagues and international tournaments.

Ntilikina has enjoyed notable success with the French national team, winning a silver medal at the Paris Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2019 World Cup in China.
