On August 4th, Chema de Lucas announced the news about Barcelona changing their mind and planning on re-signing the center.
Initially, the Spanish club announced in June that Fall, whose contract was expiring, would not continue with the team. However, recent reports reveal the club has changed its mind.
The 30-year-old Senegalese big man joined Barcelona last summer from ASVEL Villeurbanne and has been an important presence in the paint.
Over his time in Catalonia, Fall played 63 games — including 29 in the EuroLeague, 33 in the Spanish ACB League, and one in the Spanish Cup.
Last EuroLeague season, he averaged 4.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and a solid 5.2 Performance Index Rating (PIR) in just over 10 minutes per game.
