Portuguese Ruben Pley leaves Joventut to sign with St John’s University
Young center Ruben Pley has left Joventut Badalona to sign a contract with NCAA club St. John’s University, coached by Rick Pitino, the American organization confirmed on Friday. The player left with Joventut’s permission, who retained his rights and gave him a one-year loan.
“Joventut Badalona will not let go of Ruben Prey, nor his contract with the team. We are giving the player the possibility to take a year off and then return. We are pioneers in that this is a positive thing for him because we are showing the player one thing and the other is compatibility,” Peña’s coach Dani Millet explained to La Tertulia de la Televisió de Badalona.
The Portuguese, who averaged three points and three rebounds this season for La Peña, will not continue at the behest of coach Dani Millet and will instead go to a college league in the United States, following in the footsteps of other black and white players, such as Konrad Martínez and Iker Garmendia.
Already his new coach, the historic Rick Pitino, spoke about the move, emphasizing that “the play will strengthen our offense, add height, but above all it will add speed. It will be the fastest team we’ve ever had.”
Pray arrived in Badalona in the summer of 2020 and has since become one of the inland pearls of the green and black quarry, his rapid progress also attracting attention from American universities, finally resulting in an offer from St. John’s University.

The Euroleague match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Paris, which was planned to be played on Friday, January 9 at 20:00, will be postponed again.
The Reds had previously made an official request to the Euroleague management regarding this issue, and it is expected to be announced in the coming days.
The match will probably not be played on Friday evening and will be played around the February break for the national teams.
Hapoel management is unhappy with the behavior of the French club and its owner David Kahn. They claim that Paris refused to fly a connecting flight to Israel.
According to Euroleague rules, in double-header weeks, each team must reach the match arena by direct flight or travel no more than one and a half hours. However, the French refuse to attend the match on the grounds that it is against the regulations, as they will be playing in Türkiye, where there has been no direct flight to Israel since October 7.
Hapoel Tel Aviv also said that Paris refused to fly via Cyprus, which would ultimately lead to the postponement of the game.
In the statement made by the club, “Paris owner David Kahn insists on a direct flight to Israel, which is not possible from Türkiye. He is doing everything possible to avoid coming to Israel.”
Previously, there was news that there was a flu epidemic in one of Europe’s leading clubs.

I am a sports journalist who has been writing for a news website since 2015. My work primarily focuses on sports news, but I have also written about other topics such as technology and the arts.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
