Former NBA guard Raul Neto signs with Barcelona in the EuroLeague

Barcelona Basket has a new player: reinforcement on the market with the signing of Raul Neto made official by the Blaugrana club, which has long been looking for a replacement for Nicolas Laprovittola after the Argentine's serious injury. Everything had been done with Neto for some time, but the club was expected to give the go-ahead for the deal to be finalized. Barca also wanted to check the physical condition of Neto, whose career has been affected by several serious injuries. Neto, the 47th pick in the 2013 Draft, played in the NBA for eight seasons with the Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Washington Wizards and Cleveland Cavaliers and returned to Europe with Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023 but ruptured his patellar tendon during the World Cup. He recently had a stint in his homeland at Pinheiros.
