After seven weeks off the slopes, the ‘killer’ from Barcelona has returned to a high level with 5/6 in triples
Nikola Mirotic is getting better every day and it is not ruled out that this week he will travel with the team to Berlin
Kyle Kuric’s life is a story of overcoming that does not seem to have an end. Since he became important at the University of Evansville despite not counting in principle until his very serious double operation on the head for a tumor in 2015 when he was a member of Gran Canaria, the American with a Slovenian passport shows a resilience to bomb tests of which He has already shown off twice at Barça.
The first came in 2020 in the preseason when he suffered a severe blow against the duel in the Encamp stay that made him undergo surgery to staunch the plate that has been on his head for seven years. Y the second occurred on October 2 when a blow against Baskonia caused a trauma cranioencephalic that was complicated by his history and that has kept him KO for seven weeks.
very plugged in
As seen in the two games he played last week, Kuric does not understand that of returning little by little. Eager to feel how the ball slips through his fingers after his plastic suspension, the Barca guard has scored five of the seven triples he attempted last week.
51 days after the duel against Baskonia ended with problems, the former Estudiantes, ‘Granca’ and Zenit made an appearance at the Palau against Partizan at 5:06 from the end with 69-55 on the scoreboard and 62 seconds later he rose to score a triple from the center that he accompanied with a robbery. And it is that Kuric does not respond to the typical profile of the shooter who does not like to lower his ass in defense like Mike James, Milos Teodosic or Jaycee Carroll.

It was the appetizer for Sunday against Covirán (100-82)when he scored without fail the four triples he launched in a first quarter that he played completely (the last three in 108 seconds. His streak of 5/5 since his return was broken in the last quarter against the Nasrids, when the hoop spat out his shot.
The fact is that Kuric has returned at a high level almost two months after this new major mishap and Barça is in luckbecause he is the best specialist on the team to unblock games due to his magnificent percentages.
Mirotic, almost ready
Nursing news is excellent and the highly anticipated return of Nikola Mirotic is hotter than ever after a long recovery process from the complicated Achilles tendon injury that worsened in the final part of last season that forced him to spend his summer holidays in Montenegro working tirelessly.

Niko returned to training on November 19 and in recent sessions he has been seen at a very good level. The one from Pogdorica is very motivated and eager to make his debut, although the doctors don’t want the slightest risk. It is not ruled out that he will travel to Berlin on Wednesday, although ASVEL’s visit to the Palau on 9-D seems very ‘greedy’.
