The stumble against Anadolu Efes, the second in a row in the Euroleague, was not the only bad news for Barcelona in Istanbul.
After the conclusive defeat, those responsible for the Barça expedition left
Thomas Heurtel
, who had accompanied his teammates to Turkey,
off the plane
, despite not having
Sarunas Jasikevicius
in the plans
.
According to Eurohoops, the Barça leaders decided to punish the French base, considering themselves deceived by their representative.
Apparently, the situation explodes when Barça realizes that Heurtel had not traveled to Istanbul to negotiate with Fenerbahçe, but to continue his talks with Real Madrid.
The idea of the section directed by
Nacho Rodríguez
was to exchange Heurtel for
Leo Westermann
, a forward who this same Thursday left the Fenerbahçe discipline.
This goodbye has also ended up precipitating Heurtel's situation, with a contract until 2021, but outside of Jasikevicius' plans.
The 31-year-old guard was elected MVP in the 2018 and 2019 King's Cups, Barcelona's last two titles.
However, their situation was complicated by the signing of
Nick Calathes
, who has taken the reins of management and assumed leadership on the track in the company of
Nikola Mirotic
.
