Dylan Osetkowski has been suspended by the Spanish anti-doping agency and will miss EuroLeague action for Partizan until further notice due to a positive marijuana test from 2023.

According to Meridian Sport, Osetkowski will not only miss the game against Madrid but will also remain out of the team until further notice.
Shortly after, Partizan released the official announcement to explain what happened:
“Partizan received official information today in the morning hours that, according to the decision of the Spanish anti-doping agency, Dylan Osetkowski has been suspended and is unable to compete until further notice.Â
The Spanish anti-doping agency forwarded this decision to FIBA, which then informed the management of all competitions.Â
Last summer, KK Partizan Mozzart Bet received confirmation from the same institutions that the previous procedure was completed in favor of the player, which brought Dylan to Partizan.
On the other hand, the club was not informed by any of the parties in the proceedings about the handling of the new case. Â
This represents a new situation for the Club, which is currently left without the opportunity for Dylan Osetkowski to play basketball. KK Partizan Mozzart Bet will announce further steps in this case in due course.”
Osetkowski tested positive for marijuana in 2023 while playing in Spain (Unicaja Malaga), which caused his transfer to FC Barcelona to fall through later.
Osetkowski is reportedly suspended until December 22, 2026, after the anti-doping agency reopened his 2023-24 marijuana case, following delays and multiple appeals.
The 29-year-old has averaged 6.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 7.2 PIR across 25 EuroLeague appearances this season, including 14 starts.
