Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade fortified its frontline by signing Angolan center Bruno Fernando, the club announced on Sunday. The contract is pending the player passing his physical examination on Monday.
Fernando (2.08 meters, 27 years old) arrives from Real Madrid, which he joined midway through last season. He has averaged 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds over 10 minutes per game in five EuroLeague appearances with Madrid this season. Fernando took part in 12 games last season, including three in Los Blancos' playoff series against Olympiacos Piraeus.
Before joining Madrid, Fernando had spent his entire professional career in the NBA. He spent parts of six seasons with the Atlanta Hawks (2019-21), Boston Celtics (2021-22), Houston Rockets (2022-23), Atlanta Hawks (2023-24), and Toronto Raptors (2024-25). His best season came in 2023-24, when Fernado posted 6.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 45 games with Atlanta.
He joins a Partizan side that is off to a 3-3 start despite having only one true center on the roster. The addition of Fernando alongside center Tyrique Jones will give Coach Zeljko Obradovic more options going forward. A regular on the Angolan national team, Fernando will wear No. 24 with Partizan.
