The Real Madrid-Barcelona this Sunday will have all the attractions of the classic Spanish basketball game and one more: the presence of the ex-Madridista Nikola Mirotic at the WiZink Center. The power forward, Barça’s franchise player, will be able to travel to the capital after having overcome the coronavirus. This has been confirmed this Saturday by the Catalan club.
The Spanish-Montenegrin player tested positive for Covid-19 last Friday, January 14, but the latest tests to which he has been subjected by his club have been negative.
Barça, who noticed the absence of their star this week in the Euroleague match against the Russian Unics Kazan (70-64), recovers with Mirotic their top scorer (15.2 points), best rebounder (5.9) and the Barça player with the best average rating (17.8) in the Endesa League.
Because his return is key for the azulgranas to try to beat and get closer to Real Madrid at the top of the league table.
will be the third duel of this season between both teams, after the victory of Pablo Laso’s team in the Super Cup in September (83-88) and the victory of Jasikevicius’ team in the Euroleague in December (93-80).
