Spanish basketball great Pau Gasol has announced he is returning to boyhood club Barcelona after nearly two decades in the NBA, three days after denying reports he had signed for the Catalans.
“I’m very happy to announce I’m coming home and that I’ll soon join the ranks of Barca’s basketball team,” Gasol, a two-time NBA champion and six-time All Star player, wrote on his official Twitter account on Tuesday.
“I want to put my skills and experience at the disposal of the club at a key point in the season, while at the same time making progress in my physical condition and getting into the rhythm of the competition.”
