Despite not having the permission of Barça Basketball, Dame Sarr left for the United States. The young Italian, whose contract expires in June, will play in Portland at the Nike Hoops Summit, an exhibition match that serves as a showcase for promising young players. The Blaugrana club will announce its disciplinary measures shortly. "The club, which has invested significantly in the training and athletic development of the player residing at La Masia, reserves the right to defend its interests through any means it deems appropriate," the club stated.
