The injuries They have been a constant headache and enormous concern in the Barça. The basketball team, already on vacation, leaves behind a season in which physical setbacks have conditioned a campaign in which Joan Peñarroya He has lost up to four players for the transcendental moments of the course.
Nico Lapittle, Juan Núñez, Chimesia Metu y Jan Vesely They were falling in combat, and the truth is that these four players have been absent in some of the most decisive moments of the season.

Villar, a necessary resource that will fly to the United States
'Lapro' fell in combat at the end of October after a serious knee injury, While Núñez also had to stop in February for problems in the same articulation as the Argentine. In the absence of signings, Joan Peñarroya opted for Raul villas, from the subsidiary, to oxygenate the position of '1'. The young game director has surrendered to an acceptable level and little more can be required. A performance that will not be able to repeat next season in the Barca discipline, since as the journalist Chema de Lucas said, Villar will continue his career in American university basketball by the hand of Charlotte.
This situation led to squeeze to a Satoransky for which the years do not spend in bucket. He will turn 34 next October, And for the moment, he has a contract with Barça next season. The Czech performance has been questioned for many moments of the season. A 'Sato' has been blamed an insufficient annotation for what is expected of the head of Barça, and he has not been able to get physical superiority out of his great size with respect to most rivals.

Satoransky's back had said enough After months and months in which it had been the only pure base with the first team, and with the demand and tension of a Euroleague playoff before Monaco in which 'Sato' averaged more than 26 and a half minutes on track.
The decision of 'Sato'
The truth is that since those weeks, Satoransky went to the limit. His physical condition was not for excessive luxuries, and According to Sport, the player has played infiltrated the last month and a half of competition.
