As the news broke out, Partizan officially confirmed the information about the extension.

The 26-year-old Lessort was on an expiring deal with the Serbian powerhouse where he landed last December.

The French center averaged 13.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 19.3 PIR over 10 EuroCup games this past season.

He started the 2021-22 campaign in Maccabi Tel Aviv after Ante Zizic's injury which sidelined the Croatian for almost two months.

In his two-month stint with the Israeli team, Lessort posted 7.4 points and 3.4 rebounds for 9.2 PIR in 5 EuroLeague matches.

Throughout his career, Lessort represented Monaco, Bayern, Unicaja, Crvena Zvezda, Nanterre 92, and Elan Chalon. He has been named to All-EuroCup First Team (2021), All-EuroCup Second Team (2019), and Pro A Sixth Man of the Year (2016).

Lessort was drafted in the second round (50th overall pick) of the 2017 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. Currently, his draft rights belong to the New York Knicks.
