Pau Gasol debuts in Barcelona return in 1st game in 2 years
- Country:
- Spain
Pau Gasol played his first game in two years after returning to Barcelona, the team where he started his career two decades ago.
The former two-time NBA champion with the L.A. Lakers had not played since 2019, when he made his last appearance for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Hobbled since then with a nagging foot injury, the 40-year-old center decided to come back home in hopes of reviving his career in a second stint with Barcelona.
Gasol started the Euroleague home game against Bayern Munich. He scored nine points on four-for-nine shooting and grabbed four rebounds in 13 minutes.
Bayern won 82-72.
Due to health restrictions in the pandemic, there were no fans in the stadium in Barcelona.
