The Serbian powerhouse has agreed to a deal with Ben Bentil, according to Mozzart Sport. Shortly after, the club officially announced the addition.

The 27-year-old Ghanaian big man parted ways with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on July 14.

He spent almost one season with the Italian squad winning the Italian Cup and Italian championship this past campaign.

The 2.04-meter athlete averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.3 PIR over 24 EuroLeague games last season.

Milan acquired Bentil during the previous campaign from Bahcesehir Koleji Istanbul.

Prior to Turkey, Bentil had a two-year tenure with Panathinaikos Athens.

Bentil was the No. 51 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. He has also played for Peristeri, Bilbao, and Chalons-Reims, after short stints in the NBA G-League, Chinese League, and NBA with the Dallas Mavericks.
