Overview

Pre-season

FC Barcelona joined the group of teams that started training camp when players gathered for the first practice on August 8. Coach Šarūnas Jasikevičius gathered his team at the Palau Blaugrana, starting to get ready for the 2020–21 season.

Jasikevičius had seven players available for the beginning of training - Thomas Heurtel, Nick Calathes, Leandro Bolmaro, Sergi Martínez, Rolands Šmits, Aleix Font and Artem Pustovyi. The rest of the players underwent medical tests on August 14 and then join practice. Calathes is one of the few major additions to the team along with Brandon Davies in the first season under Jasikevičius. Barcelona opened its EuroLeague season on October 1 at home against CSKA Moscow.[1]
