Milan Barbitch Aims for Liga Endesa Spot with Morabanc Andorra
After a season of European exploration in Greece and Poland, Milan Barbitch is now setting his sights on Spain. The former Nanterre player, a 24-year-old 1.96m guard, will participate in the preseason with BC Morabanc Andorra. This club, located in the principality of Andorra, narrowly avoided relegation in Liga Endesa last season. Barbitch's objective is to secure a contract for the 2026-2027 season.
Barbitch, who honed his skills at INSEP before turning professional with Paris Basketball, initially made his mark in Betclic Elite with Fos-sur-Mer, Blois, and then Nanterre, where he averaged 9.3 points and 3.2 assists in 20 minutes during the 2024-2025 season. He then decided to pursue opportunities abroad.
His progress was hampered by a knee injury early last season while playing for Greek club Kolossos Rhodes, where he averaged 5.0 points and 4.2 assists in 20 minutes. However, he found his rhythm again in Poland with Arka Gdynia towards the end of the season. There, he posted impressive averages of 12.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists, with a 14.3 efficiency rating, notably reaching the local league's semifinals.
