New-look Barcelona <\/p>\n

FC Barcelona is undergoing a massive roster overhaul. Core players such as Will Clyburn, Nicolas Laprovittola, Tomas Satoransky, and Willy Hernangomez have already departed.<\/p>\n

Following EuroLeague legend Jan Vesely’s retirement announcement, the Catalan side is left with only six active players on the roster.<\/p>\n

This includes guards Juan Nunez, Kevin Punter, and Dario Brizuela, as well as newcomer Olivier Nkamhoua and recently extended forward Joel Parra. Tornike Shengelia is also on the team; however, rumors suggest he may also be on his way out.<\/p>\n
