However, even such a strong and unanimous opinion from insiders did not change the position of Nacho Rodríguez, Barça’s CEO, or head coach Šarūnas Jasikevičius.
Eurohoops.net reports that more Th. Heurtel’s fate can only be reversed in two directions: being thrown to the Catalan substitutes and not even having playing time there, or being sent to another country’s team.

The Barcelona basketball players who flew to Catalonia were received at the airport by journalists who tried to hear some reaction from the club’s members. Still, both Pierre Oriola and Alex Abrines remained silent, powerless, or perhaps simply without the right to explain, what had happened on the instructions of the club.
A little later, the club itself commented on the situation. The Barcelona representatives did not deny that Th. Heurtel remained in Istanbul, but claimed to have taken full care of him and to be able to return individually.
The investigation into the incident was initiated by the Euroleague players ‘association, and the Spanish players’ associations and the ACB expressed their support for the basketball player.
