Florida basketball signs Slovenian power forward Domen Petrovič

The Florida basketball program signed Slovenian power forward Domen Petrovič for the 2026-27 season on Monday. The 6-foot-9-inch prospect joins Lithuanian forward/center Arturas Butajevas as the Gators round out their roster with a pair of European imports. "We are really excited to welcome Domen into our program," head coach Todd Golden said.

"He is a very skilled forward that has great positional size. He has shown incremental improvement every year, and he's currently playing the best basketball of his young career. He is a high-achiever both on and off the court and will help us continue to raise the bar here at Florida!

" Petrovič was a member of Slovenia's silver medal team in the 2024 FIBA U20 EuroBasket, averaging 9. 7 points and 3. 9 rebounds per game alongside current Florida guard Urban Klavžar.

He also competed at the 2022 U18 European Championship, averaging 5. 6 points and 3. 6 rebounds as Slovenia finished fourth.
