In an interview with TalkBasket<\/a>, Alex Abrines explained why he decided to return to Barcelona. He also spoke on the possibility of making an NBA comeback.<\/p>\n

“I think I needed a change, although I had some great times in Oklahoma,” Abrines said about choosing Bar\u00e7a. “After what happened with my depression, it was tough. I needed a change, to come back home and I think FC Barcelona was the best team. I knew the club, I have friends in Barcelona and it\u2019s pretty close to my hometown.”<\/p>\n

“I haven\u2019t closed the door on the NBA. Right now, I\u2019m focused on FC Barcelona. I\u2019ve got one more year with them, but you never know what\u2019s going to happen in the future. If I got the chance to go back, maybe I would take it. But it\u2019s not an answer that I have right now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
