Chris Duarte presented as new Baskonia player

Dominican basketball player Chris Duarte has been officially presented as the new signing for Baskonia in the Liga Endesa. During his introductory press conference, Duarte expressed his commitment to the Vitoria-based club, stating that he is “working hard to take advantage of the opportunity” and aims to contribute to the team's success.

Duarte addressed his previous tenure with Unicaja Málaga, describing it as a past chapter he wishes to leave behind. His time in Málaga was characterized by performance levels that fell below initial expectations, leading to a separation between the player and the club.

Regarding his professional confidence, Duarte emphasized that he has “never doubted my talent” and is focused on integrating with his new teammates to achieve collective goals. He also noted that his recent absence from the Dominican Republic national team was a personal decision intended to allow him to focus on his integration into his new environment.
