A teenager's precocity inspires Barça: ARA's Instant Replay

BarcelonaBarça cruised past Baxi Manresa (97-60). Without Kevin Punter and the Czechs Jan Vesely and Tomás Satoransky, the Blaugrana team relied on youth to energize the Palau Blaugrana crowd. Serbian Nikola Kusturica (16 years, 9 months, and 15 days) became the youngest player to score a basket. The Serbian finished with 7 points and 6 rebounds in 15:51 minutes of play. Sayon Keita and Daniel González also saw playing time.

Baloncesto Girona dreams big

Baloncesto Girona is dreaming big. The Girona team took the victory on the Hiopos Lleida court (81-93). Accuracy from three-point range (13/27) and a strong collective effort allowed them to secure their tenth win of the season. "We played an outstanding game. We were able to read the different defenses Lleida used and we achieved the victory on a very difficult court," celebrated Moncho Fernández.

Vitamins to face the Cup

Asisa Joventut will arrive at the Copa del Rey in good form after a commanding victory over Casademont Zaragoza (67-79). Cameron Hunt, with 20 points, led Penya to their twelfth win in the Liga Endesa. "We won convincingly. We turned the ball over four times in the opening minutes, but only three more times for the rest of the game," said Dani Miret. The victory led to the dismissal of Catalan coach Jesús Ramírez.

Jabari Parker, green-black desire

Joventut is exploring the possibility of signing Jabari Parker. The deal isn't straightforward, but the former Barça player wants to leave Partizan. "It's important to sign a player for the Cup if that player can have an immediate impact. Right now, we have a great opportunity ahead of us, and it would be a mistake to rush into it. We need to sign a capable player, someone who can be a top-three scorer on the team," explained Dani Miret.
