Franco Balbi, Lucas Siewert and Luan Rodrigues say goodbye to FlaBasquete

With the start of the new season approaching, three players are leaving FlaBasquete: Franco Balbi, an idol and multiple champion with the Manto Sagrado, Lucas Siewert, and Luan Rodrigues did not have their contracts renewed. They were part of the squad that won the Copa Super 8 and the 2024/25 Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA) for the second time.

With two spells at Orgulho da Nação, Argentine Franco Balbi made his mark on the club's history by winning the following titles: NBB (2018-19 and 2020-21), Basketball Champions League Americas (2020-21 and 2024-25), Copa Super 8 (2018, 2021 and 2025), Copa Intercontinental (2023) and Campeonato Carioca (2018, 2019 and 2020).

Power forward Lucas Siewert joined Mais Querido for the 2024/25 season and was a key player in their victory in the Super 8 Cup and BCLA. Forward Luan Rodrigues began his career with FlaBasquete in 2024, playing in the youth academy. He was promoted to the senior team last season and was also part of the team that won both competitions. 

Clube de Regatas do Flamengo thanks the three for their commitment and dedication on the court, wishing each of them success in their new journey.
