Fenerbahçe Men’s Basketball has reached a one-year agreement with American guard Johnny Juzang (2.01 m, 2001).
 
Johnny Juzang played college basketball for Kentucky (2019–20) and UCLA (2020–22). After averaging 22.8 points per game for UCLA during the 2021 NCAA Tournament, he was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team. In the 2021–22 season, Juzang finished as his team’s leading scorer and earned All-Pac-12 First Team honors.
 
Following his college career, the American guard signed his first NBA contract with the Utah Jazz in 2022. On April 7, 2024, he set his NBA career high with 27 points against the Golden State Warriors. Juzang joined the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2025 before signing with VTB League side Zenit St. Petersburg on February 28, 2026. He appeared in 17 games for the Russian club during the 2025–26 season, averaging 14.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.
 
We hope this agreement will be beneficial for both our Club and Johnny Juzang, and we wish our new player—who will compete for the success of Fenerbahçe Men’s Basketball beginning with the 2026–27 season—many achievements in our iconic striped jersey.
