Duane Washington Headed Back to Serbia After a Nice NBA Bonus​

After finishing last season with the Knicks, Washington agreed to sign with Partizan in July; the Belgrade-based club later confirmed the deal in August. However, the Knicks – who still held Washington’s Early Bird rights – required him as a sign-and-trade asset for salary-matching purposes in their trade for Karl-Anthony Towns.
Partizan Belgrade received a buyout in exchange for allowing Washington out of his contract, while the 24-year-old secured a $2.16MM guaranteed salary from the Hornets for his involvement in the Towns trade. He spent a week with Charlotte, then was waived last Wednesday, clearing the way for him to rejoin Partizan.

That is a high level basketball club in Serbia. He will be joining Carlik Jones out of the Cincinnati area, former ACC player of the year, G League MVP, who spent a minute in the NBA, and had a really nice Olympics run with South Sudan this past summer (think he also beat the Buckeyes when he was playing for Radford). Interested to see how those two do together, and whether one of them gets a call back to the NBA.

Wanted to see how Duane Washington Jr. was doing overseas, and saw that he broke a league scoring record earlier this season.

Career-high for Duane Washington Jr (48 points, 10/14 from beyond the arc). He also had the ABA all-time high, surpassing Daron Russell, who scored 47 in 2022.
