Jared Butler reached an agreement with Red Starbut at the moment his transfer is up in the air after he failed his medical at the Belgrade club.
The doctors did not give the “green light” for him to play in tonight’s (28.10.2025) match between Red Star and Villeurbanne, while there are doubts as to whether the deal with the Belgrade team will be activated.
The transfer has not been broken yet, but it is expected that a second medical opinion will be requested from Red Star, before there is a final decision on what will happen next, for the American guard who also employed Olympiakos.
The 25-year-old ace was diagnosed at the age of 18 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and his career was threatened. However, being asymptomatic, this problem did not prevent him from playing for three years in college and in 149 games in the NBA, although for some teams this condition acted as a deterrent from signing him to a contract.
