2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Teams: Partizan Mozzart Bet - Defending the Throne

The reigning champions of the AdmiralBet ABA League, Partizan Mozzart Bet, are preparing for the new season with one clear goal – to defend their crown. After lifting the trophy last spring, the black-and-whites are determined to stay on top, and everything about their summer moves suggests that they are building a roster capable of doing just that.

Continuity as the Key Weapon

Perhaps the biggest strength of Partizan Mozzart Bet heading into the new season is continuity. The club has managed to keep most of the key champions from last year’s squad, preserving the chemistry and winning mentality that led them to glory. On top of that, they added high-level reinforcements, giving the team even more depth and quality.

The Legend on the Bench

Once again, the team will be guided by none other than Željko Obradović, one of the greatest coaches in basketball history. His presence alone guarantees authority, tactical brilliance, and an unwavering focus on success. Under his leadership, Partizan Mozzart Bet remain one of the most respected clubs in Europe.

Guards Full of Firepower

The backcourt looks stacked. Carlik Jones and Sterling Brown, two of last season’s best performers, remain with the team. Alongside them, captain Vanja Marinković continues to lead by example, while Duane Washington, who exploded late last season, adds extra scoring punch. Arijan Lakić provides reliability and depth. To strengthen the guard line even further, Partizan Mozzart Bet landed a big signing from the NBA – Malik Milton from the Los Angeles Lakers, who comes in as perhaps the most eye-catching newcomer of the summer.

Strong and Versatile Wings

At the small forward positions, Partizan Mozzart Bet kept Isaac Bonga, who recently celebrated a European championship with Germany, ensuring that the team has top-level versatility on the wing. Mario Nakić and youngster Mitar Bošnjaković remain in the roster, bringing both depth and potential for growth.

Power and Talent in the Frontcourt

The frontcourt is equally impressive. The reigning champions kept their powerful center Tyrique Jones and talented forward Aleksej Pokuševski. To this foundation, they added more star quality with Jabari Parker, a former NBA standout, and Dylan Osetkowski from Unicaja Málaga, one of the most consistent big men in Europe last season. The club also announced they are still searching for another center to further strengthen their options in the paint.

Even Stronger Than Before

With continuity, world-class coaching, and a mix of proven stars and ambitious newcomers, Partizan Mozzart Bet look even stronger than last season. Their goals are clear: defend the AdmiralBet ABA League crown and aim for the highest possible achievements in every competition they enter.
