Eli John Ndiaye has played his final game for Asisa Joventut, where he had been on loan from Real Madrid. The club have now officially confirmed his return to the squad.

Ndiaye's loan agreement included a clause allowing Real Madrid to recall him after November 15 if they needed to fill homegrown player spots in ACB competitions or were dealing with a significant number of injuries. The latter situation has now arisen, particularly in the power forward position. Mikael Jantunen and Gabriel Deck, both capable of playing there, are expected to be sidelined for several months.

The power forward, who developed through Real Madrid's youth academy, will rejoin the team immediately and could make his Liga Endesa debut next Sunday. Coincidentally, his first game back could come against his former team, Joventut Badalona.

Before that, Real Madrid face a EuroLeague double-header on the road, with games against Besiktas and Olympiacos. Having already completed pre-season with the team and being familiar with some of Pedro Martínez's systems, Ndiaye could feature in either game if the coaching staff considers it appropriate.
