The potential rivals of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague quarterfinals have been reduced to two – Real Madrid and Milan – and it is very possible that the Yellows will prefer the first option, which they will get if they beat Fenerbahce in the fourth. The Blancos are in the midst of a huge crisis, a fourth consecutive loss at the factory and now intend to part ways with two prominent players even before the end of the season.
According to a report in the Spanish media, Real Madrid have informed Thomas Hartl and Trey Tompkins that they are released from the team and can leave immediately. The reason for the decision is that last Thursday the two stars were absent from the Blancos’ training session on Thursday, which also led to screenings from the staff at 97:88 to Bayern Munich last night (Friday).
It should be noted that only in January did Tompicans return from an eight-month injury, but was far from mentioning the ability he displayed before it. The forward wore the white uniform 325 games and since returning from injury has scored an average of 13 Euroleague points in 13 games.
Hartl arrived at Real only last summer after leaving Barcelona (and last season “abandoned” at the Istanbul airport) and did not quite live up to its expectations. The Frenchman has so far averaged 9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per 19 minutes on average and will now have to find a new target.
In addition to the imminent release of Tompkins and Hartl, Real also fined Gershon Yavosla 20,000 euros. “Chaos in Real Madrid”, was written in the headline of the same report and also in “Marca” did not feel sorry for the loss to Bayern Munich with the headline “Broken Madrid”.
