Real Madrid ends Eli John Ndiaye's loan early

Real Madrid has announced that the loan of 22-year-old Senegalese power forward Eli John Ndiaye at Joventut has been ended early. The player had been loaned to the Badalona club on September 11, following the extension of his contract until 2028 on August 17, 2026.

The club said it recalled Ndiaye because of ongoing injury problems in its forward line. Most recently, the injury to Mikael Jantunen played a role in this decision. In 8 ACB games for Joventut, Ndiaye averaged 8 points, 4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 20 minutes 45 seconds. In 3 Basketball Champions League games, he averaged 5.3 points and 4 rebounds.

Real Madrid will face Olympiacos at SUNEL Area on November 20 at 21:15 in Round 13 of the EuroLeague. Reports say tickets for the match are nearly sold out, with close to 400 remaining.
