Boston Celtics alum point guard PJ Dozier has signed a one-year deal with Partizan per Eurohoops, formerly the team of stashed Celtics floor general Yam Madar. The move comes as a replacement for Dante Exum, who left Partizan to return to the NBA earlier this summer.
Despite going undrafted in 2017, Dozier managed to secure a contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder and later joined Boston’s roster as a two way player. Dozier would later join the Denver Nuggets, but a serious knee injury derailed his career in the league and saw him dealt back to Boston before the Celtics dealt him to the Orlando Magic in turn.
Dozier would later try a comeback in the 2022-23 season with the Sacramento Kings but was unsuccessful, sparking his decision to try to jump-start his career overseas.
