According to Telegraf.rs, Alen Smailagic has already returned to Partizan Belgrade and is practicing with his club.

The 21-year-old big man was dealing with an injury during last season. Via the report, he did not return to form fully, so it was assessed that it would be better for both him and the national team to continue the training process at the club.

Smailagic averaged 7.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steal, and 10.2 PIR over 15 EuroCup games last campaign.

Smailagic made his men's national team debut at FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 European Qualifiers. He played one game against Latvia and contributed with 15 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 14 PIR.
