The club has announced that PJ Dozier is joining the organization on a one-year deal.

Known for his defensive abilities, Dozier has represented the Oklahoma City Thunder, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, and Sacramento Kings throughout his NBA career. Kurir reports that conversations with Nikola Jokic played a part in Partizan choosing Dozier.

"This is my first time actually leaving the United States, so I was a little nervous at first. However, as I had only heard good things about the city, the nervousness quickly turned into excitement. I heard about the club as the best place to play with the best coach, which is why I am very happy to play for such a club and such a coach," Dozier said following the signing.

The player's standout season came in 2020-2021 with the Nuggets, where the 1.98-meter tall guard averaged 7.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. Over the span of 121 NBA games, Dozier has maintained averages of 5.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists.

Last year, Dozier played in 16 games for the Kings, averaging 1.4 points in about 5 minutes of playtime. Additionally, he played in 11 games in the G League. For the Iowa Wolves, he averaged 20.5 points (38% 3PT), 5.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game.

According to Mozzart Sport, Dozier's signing will close the backcourt for Partizan as the club will now look for additions in the frontcourt.
