FC Barcelona recently renouncing ACB rights on the experienced big man was the first step and the second step will be a way around the rule prohibiting a person holding a front-office position from actually playing for the team. It is clear that all involved parties wish to watch Gasol suit up for Girona in the 2022-23 season. Therefore, this will ultimately be the case. The Catalan star last played in the top division of Spain back in 2008, as a member of CB Girona, the previous club representing the city in the ACB. In 2014, he founded Basquet Girona and this season stepped in as a player to assist in completing the drive from LEB Plata and LEB Oro to the ACB.
