Spar Girona strengthens with Natasha Mack interior
Spar Girona officially announced this Saturday the signing of Natasha Mack. The 26-year-old, 1.93m American center holds a Montenegrin passport and was one of the most outstanding players at the last EuroBasket, averaging 13.8 points and 11 rebounds per game. He has played for European teams such as AZS UMCS Lublin in Poland and Botas SK in Turkey. The player currently plays for the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA, averaging 3.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in 16.8 minutes on the court.
With the addition of Mack, the club will strengthen its interior game with a player who, in addition to being a scorer, also has good defensive skills. The team already has a total of 10 players for next season. Sandra Higuerabide, Laura Peña and Marta Canella are on current contracts, Aiñoa Lopez has been renewed and Carolina Guerrero, Borislava Hristova, Chloe Bibby, Minha Touré, Clara Lundquist and Natasha Mack have joined. All of them are under the direction of the also new Roberto Iniguez.
Sporting director Laia Palau had this to say about the American’s arrival: “She is a player with great size, athleticism and physicality, with the ability to intimidate offensive players. “She is a great connoisseur of European basketball and an inside offensive reference with a colorful and athletic game,” he noted.

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.
