Real Madrid Reportedly Renewing Interest in Lester Quinones

A signing would allow Madrid to add a high-scoring guard without using a non-EU roster slot.

Overview

  • Spanish outlet Marca and other reports say Real Madrid has had weeks of contact with Quinones and his representatives, though no contract has been announced.
  • Quinones, a 25-year-old guard with three years of NBA experience, earned All-NBAGL First Team honors after a high-scoring season with the Osceola Magic.
  • Reporters note Quinones represents the Dominican Republic, which means he would not occupy one of Real Madrid's limited non-EU roster spots.
  • Madrid's pursuit follows a summer of turnover that included adding young guard Max Shulga and losing several former NBA players, creating demand for wing/guard reinforcements.
  • Coverage is based on Spanish reporting and secondhand comments from Dominican national-team staff, so the move remains reported and unconfirmed until either party issues an official announcement.
