Anna Cruz had prepared the video announcing her retirement last summer, but Joventut convinced the Catalan player to postpone her decision for another year. The Badalona native has made her final decision now, as La Penya faces the decisive stretch of the season. "Retiring to Badalona is like closing a circle because it's where I started playing basketball. Although I had to leave, it's always felt like home. Ending my career at another club wouldn't make sense," she admitted in an interview with ARA.
