Usman Garuba, a 2.03m, 22-year-old pivot, is on the verge of returning to Real Madrid, the club where he trained as a youth player and played in the first team from 2018 to 2021 before moving to the NBA. Despite his priority being to stay in the American league, the lack of concrete offers has led him to decide to resume his career with the white team. If negotiations with the club progress smoothly, an agreement could be finalized this week for the next five seasons, putting his NBA career on hold.

Garuba's decision has been lengthy and challenging, as his primary goal was to remain in the NBA. As a free agent after his contract with the Warriors ended on June 30, he was open to offers, but none of the interested franchises guaranteed him a full-fledged position on their first team.

This situation prompted him to reconsider his immediate future, leading to a return to Real Madrid, which had been awaiting this opportunity to bring him back after being unable to do so last summer. The young pivot has not hidden his decision, expressing it clearly on social media with a brief "Back soon," accompanied by a white ball and hands together, indicating a request or gratitude in advance.
