After securing a domestic victory against Studentski Centar, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade coach Zeljko Obradovic addressed the media, tackling a topic of keen interest: the return of Zach LeDay.

"I talked to people from the club, LeDay should be in the team against Olympiacos," Obradovic announced during the press conference, as reported by Mozzart Sport.

LeDay had left Partizan after the EuroLeague Round 29 game in Barcelona due to a family tragedy -- the passing of his father, prompting his return to Dallas to be with his family.

Unofficial sources from Mozzart Sport suggest that LeDay is expected to rejoin team training on Tuesday, conveniently ahead of the EuroLeague Round 32 match against Olympiacos Piraeus scheduled for Thursday.

With the player update addressed, the conversation shifted to another hot topic: Dubai's entry into the ABA League.

It was officially announced on March 19 that a team from Dubai would be joining the ABA League, expanding the competition to 16 teams for the next season.

However, Obradovic seemed indifferent to the news.

"I don't know anything about it, nor am I interested," Obradovic said. "It's decided at the ABA League meetings, and I am fully focused on what awaits us until the end of the season."
