Willy Hernangomez Moves from Barcelona to Malaga
In a significant move for FC Barcelona, who are undergoing a period of substantial rebuilding, Willy Hernangomez will be departing the team. The esteemed MVP of EuroBasket 2022 has officially signed a one-season contract with Unicaja Malaga, marking his exit from the EuroLeague and his entry into the Basketball Champions League (BCL).
The decision to join Unicaja Malaga was influenced by the presence of coach Txus Vidorreta. Hernangomez previously played under Vidorreta during the 2015 EuroBasket and the 2016 Rio Olympics, where they achieved gold and bronze medals respectively. This move sees the former NBA player taking a path opposite to that of Olek Balcerowski.
FC Barcelona had not extended a new contract offer to their center. Last season, Hernangomez's performance in the EuroLeague saw a decrease, averaging 5.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and an evaluation of 6.8 in just 13 minutes per game.

In a significant rebuilding phase, FC Barcelona is letting go of Willy Hernangomez. The MVP of EuroBasket 2022 has signed for one season with Unicaja Malaga, thus leaving the EuroLeague for the BCL.
The presence of coach Txus Vidorreta, with whom the Spanish international played in Euro 2015 and the Rio Olympics in 2016 (winning gold and bronze), weighed in the decision. The former NBA player will thus be taking the reverse path of Olek Balcerowski.
Barça had not offered a new contract to its center, whose performance had reduced to 5.6 points and 3.8 rebounds for an evaluation of 6.8 in 13 minutes of EuroLeague play last season.
