Real Madrid facing key summer after playoff exit: Scariolo and roster under review

Real Madrid is entering a crucial summer after being eliminated by La Laguna Tenerife in the ACB quarterfinals, its first exit at that stage in 18 years.

According to AS, the first major decision will involve Sergio Scariolo, who is under contract until 2028 but is now being evaluated after a trophyless season. Late-game struggles were one of Madrid’s recurring issues throughout the campaign, from the Supercopa to the Liga Endesa.

Several roster questions remain open: Trey Lyles wants to return to the NBA, Mario Hezonja has an NBA exit clause until July 20, while the club needs to address the shooting guard position and manage Facundo Campazzo’s workload. The frontcourt behind Edy Tavares also needs clarity, with Usman Garuba expected to remain out until at least February or March.
