FC Barcelona Bàsquet signs Pau Gasol

FC Barcelona’s basketball section has officially announced the return of its most famous export, Pau Gasol. The two-time NBA Champion and six-time NBA All-Star was most recently playing with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Gasol was out for the past two years due to an ankle injury. He was signed by the Portland Trail Blazers but was unable to play for them due to his ankle problem. He is still not available to play but it’s expected he should be ready in March.

A Barcelona native, Gasol has also won the FIBA World Cup title, three EuroBasket titles, two Olympic silver medals, and an Olympic bronze medal with the Spanish national basketball team.
