Lakovic to leave Regal Barça
Meritxell Infante
After six seasons at the Club, Jaka Lakovic will not be playing for Regal Barça next season. The Slovene has won a total of ten trophies in his time at the Club.
Jaka Lakovic will be leaving Barca at the end of his contract this season after six years with the
Club in which he has proved himself to be a versatile player who showed he could star in a variety
of positions and he has played a key part in Regal’s success over his time at the Club.
Aim was to win the Euroleague
Jaka Lakovic joined Barça in 2005/06 after winning almost everything with Panathinaikos and
with the aim of taking the one title he’d not yet won –the Euroleague. He fulfilled
that objective with Barça at the Final Four in Paris in 2010. He became a reference point for the
team and a key member of the 2008/09 ACB winning team.
Only Basile has played more
He suffered from injuries during the 2009/10 season, but he still managed to put in a great
year –winning four titles in all. In his final season at Barça, he became the foreign player
with the second most appearances for the team, beating Audie Norris and only behind Basile and
picked up four more titles to make it ten during his time with Regal Barça.
