Barcelona played Euroleague Anadolu Efes matches in Istanbul on Tuesday and lost 79:86. Even before going to Turkey, it was known that Th. Heurtel will not play, but was allowed to leave with the team assuming the Frenchman will meet Fenerbahce in Istanbul.
Barcelona was informed that the termination of the contract with Th. According to Heurtel, he will sign a contract with Fenerbahche, but when he left for Turkey, it was clear that the 31-year-old was at the gates of the main club of Real Madrid.
In case of conflict, Barça executives suspended negotiations to terminate the contract and Th. Heurtel was left alone at the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul. The Catalans did not take him either on the team bus or on the plane that was flying home.

Helping Th. Headtel was handed over by Anadolu defender Efes Rodrigue Beaubois, who, concerned about the situation of his compatriot, took him to a hotel.
The team trained by Šarūnas Jasikevičius traveled to Barcelona on a private trip on Wednesday, and Th. Heurtel had to travel on regular connecting flights: the athlete had to spend a few hours in Lyon, where he was received at the airport by representatives of the CSKA of Moscow, which competed in Vilerbana this week.
Where would my friend Thomas be without Beaubois? They would probably still be walking in Istanbul and catching COVID-19 somewhere, “CSKA leader Mike James, who was vehemently critical of Barcelona, wrote on Twitter Thursday.

Th. Heurtel finally returned to Barcelona, but like other players of the club and coach Š. Jasikevičius, a Frenchman, declined to comment on the situation to the media. However, the owner of the ACB league, A. Reyes, revealed that the basketball players are on the player’s side.
“I have spoken with Thomas and I must tell him that his situation is not justified. It’s hard to explain those things at such a difficult time for everyone. The basketball player was left absolutely alone. Fortunately, he was helped by a former teammate.
The basketball players of the Barça team are very unhappy. Thomas was his friend, the connection between them was wonderful. Basketball players are united: they know very well that this is not the way to deal with players, ”Reyes said.
