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.
