Pero Antic is a restricted free agent, however he already decided to return to Europe. The former Euroleague champion with Olympiacos has a deal in place with Fenerbahce/ Ulker which is expected to be formalized in the next days.
The official announcement is the only thing missing. Antic after two seasons in the NBA returns to Europe and Fenerbahce needs many new faces in its front line, specially after losing its ancor, Nemanja Bjelica. However Antic is expected to be used mainly in the center position, replacing Luca Zoric.
In Fenerbahce he will join his former teammate at Olympiacos, Kostas Sloukas, who was officially announced today as the new member of the team.
UPDATE: As his agent Misko Raznatovic confirmed, Pero Antic signed a 2+1 year contract with Fenerbahce/ Ulker.
