Laprovittola He says he can spend more time with his family and his 4-year-old daughter is “very happy” than him due to the injury. “The fact that we’re staying home for a long time and taking more to take the city made us think that Barcelona can be a place where we live our entire lives. As a family, we’re happy here,” he says.
And the foundation of this is Barsasince leaving in 2013, I have never been with the same club for so long. Argentina To begin the journey in 12 years where he played for nine teams from five different countries.

It could be a better assistant for me,” he adds.
However, the base emphasizes that after “using this time to recharge the energy,” it simply requires thinking about “playing and competition.” “My game and my characters were improving every year. I had to compete all the time, even if my rivals were faster and more. And I trusted the way to solve things on the track.
Laprovittola He recovers from the most serious injury of his career, breaking the anterior cruciate ligament, affecting the external meniscus in his right knee. “I’m starting to run with the ball and start moving,” says the base, which uses the summer to work hard and plans to return in the best way in the preseason.

“Giving me is prosperous and I can understand your decision, but that doesn’t seem to be right. Euroleague “It was already difficult to compete with the low NBA contracts.”
Finally, when asked about the announcement of NBA Exploring the creation of a league Europe With FIBA, Laprovittola Protect it Euroleague It’s “product and epic competition.” “I don’t know what the NBA can do here. I understand that it’s a brand on another level, but I’m a Euroleague lover and I like it more,” he says.

PLEKHANOV: “There are also a few points I would like to point out”
Head coach of “Kharkov Falcons” Valery Plekhanov He summarized the team’s 2025 results and talked about the preparations for the continuation of the season:
“Summing up the results of the calendar year, I want to congratulate all our fans on the upcoming New Year and Merry Christmas, wish our favorite team peace and good victories! “Kharkov Falcons” are the first players of this Super League season, so second place at the moment is a good result.
There are a few points we would like to emphasize separately. First of all, seven players from last season’s active squad won the Premier League together, but five of them never played in the Super League. Therefore, the experience they gained in the first half of this season is almost priceless. Secondly, Kharkiv Falcons are one of the two champion teams that did not play a single match at home. It’s very difficult when you’re not playing for your fans, you’re training in one gym, and you’re playing in a different gym every time, even on home tours. In these conditions, 4 defeats in 13 matches is a good result.
One of the most negative moments of this year was not being able to participate in the last four of the Ukrainian Cup. Unfortunately, we were a little unlucky in the draw. After an emotionally difficult and physically exhausting match with Krivbass, we did not have enough strength for the next match against Kiev-Basket in the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, our performances in the cup are over, but now we will be able to focus all our efforts on the championship.
Our main problem now is injuries. We have five injured players, three of whom have serious injuries that require a long recovery period. We’re about to get off to a very tough start to the new calendar season because the Falcons will be playing basketball six weekends in a row, which means six road trips with no rest time. If we could count on all twelve players in the squad at the beginning of the season, there will no longer be such a rotation. Therefore, all the responsibility and burden will fall on the players in the rankings. I hope they get over their injuries in the new year, recover from their injuries as soon as possible, return to work and help their beloved club properly represent Kharkiv in the Super League.
Despite the holidays, we have training scheduled almost seven days a week. “I really hope that by January 10 we will be a combat-ready team that can solve serious problems.”
