Aleksej Pokuševski: Breaking News

Makes move overseas

Pokusevski agreed to a one-year contract with Serbian club KK Partizan on Monday, Eurohoops.net reports. The Serbian forward will return to his home country for the 2024-25 season after a four-year run in the NBA. The No. 17 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Pokusevski at times flashed intriguing shot-blocking and playmaking skills for a seven-footer, but efficiency was a major issue, as he shot just 39.1 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from three-point range while committing 1.5 turnovers in 20.4 minutes per game over 168 career contests with the Thunder and Hornets. Still just 22 years old, Pokusevski could resurface at the NBA level down the road if he's able to impress during his time in Europe.

Released by Charlotte

The Hornets waived Pokusevski on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Pokusevski was picked up by the Hornets on Feb. 27 after being waived by the Thunder. The 22-year-old averaged 7.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 19.3 minutes in 18 regular-season games with the club. Pokusevski will now enter free agency, searching for a new club after the worst statistical year of his career.

Sees just 13 minutes

Pokusevski chipped in four points (1-2 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 130-104 loss to the Mavericks. Pokusevski saw a very light workload Tuesday, as Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges combined to score 43 points in the loss. Pokusevski has played well during his time with the Hornets, averaging 7.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.8 minutes.
