Partizan has completed its first signing of the 2026 offseason, officially announcing the arrival of experienced center Kevarrius Hayes.

The 29-year-old joins the Belgrade club after spending the 2025-26 campaign with AS Monaco.

Over the course of his European career, Hayes has also represented Žalgiris Kaunas, Bursaspor, LDLC ASVEL and Paris Basketball, building an impressive résumé that includes 169 EuroLeague appearances.

The American big man has agreed to a two-year contract and is expected to join his new teammates when Partizan begins preparations for the 2026-27 campaign.

Hayes is coming off another productive season in the EuroLeague, where he averaged 6.3 points and 3.4 rebounds across 40 games while playing an important role in Monaco’s successful campaign, which ended with the club winning four trophies.
