Milan Barbitch Pursues Liga Endesa Berth with Morabanc Andorra
After a season of European exploration in Greece and Poland, Milan Barbitch is setting his sights on Spain. The former Nanterre player (1.96m, 24 years old) will participate in the preseason with BC Morabanc Andorra, a club from the principality that narrowly avoided relegation in Liga Endesa last season. His objective is to secure a contract for the 2026-2027 season.
Barbitch, who trained at INSEP before making his professional debut with Paris Basketball, first gained attention in Betclic Elite with Fos-sur-Mer, Blois, and then Nanterre, where he averaged 9.3 points and 3.2 assists in 20 minutes per game during the 2024-2025 season, before seeking opportunities abroad.
His progress was hampered by a knee injury early last season with Greek club Kolossos Rhodes, where he averaged 5.0 points and 4.2 assists in 20 minutes. However, he regained form in Poland with Arka Gdynia towards the end of the season, posting averages of 12.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists for a valuation of 14.3, notably reaching the local league's semifinals.
The French point guard, standing at 1.96 meters, will join the team to complete preparations over the coming weeks. Morabanc Andorra announced his participation in their preseason training.
