西班牙传来一则坏消息。据巴塞罗那俱乐部宣布，球队后卫、马刺前次轮秀胡安·努涅斯 (Juan Nuñez) 在修复半月板撕裂的术后恢复过程中遭遇挫折，将对其右膝进行一次探索性关节镜手术。
马刺队在2024年选秀大会上用36号签选中了努涅斯，这位备受瞩目的国际控卫新星成长于皇家马德里青训营和西班牙各级青年国家队。球队当时的计划是将这位年仅20岁的球员储备在巴塞罗那；此前，努涅斯在德甲联赛的拉蒂奥法姆·乌尔姆队打出了一个出色的赛季，随后巴塞罗那获得了他的签约权。据报道，他的合同中含有一项NBA跳出条款，如果马刺队有意，他便可加盟。不幸的是，目前为止，一切并未按计划进行。
努涅斯加盟了一支阵容深厚的巴塞罗那队，并难以获得出场时间。而在他登场时，他既展现了灵光一现的才华，也暴露了一些明显的短板。之后有消息透露，他此前一直带着膝伤作战，最终不得不在三月份接受导致赛季报销的手术，这也使他无缘代表西班牙队出战欧洲篮球锦标赛（EuroBasket），而西班牙队在该届赛事中表现令人失望。整个夏天他都在进行康复，参加了季前赛，并被期望在9月30日开始的欧洲赛季初期成为球队的一个选择。

不幸的是，努涅斯的右膝出现了炎症，且在接受保守治疗后并未消退，使得探索性手术成为了最佳选择。从长远来看，这一手术有助于查明问题的根源，是件好事。然而，在短期内，这很可能会让他缺阵更长时间，并可能导致他在伤愈后也难以获得出场时间。巴塞罗那迎回了伤愈的前马刺球员尼古拉斯·拉普罗维托拉，并在休赛期签下了阿根廷后卫胡安·马科斯。队中还有托马斯·萨托兰斯基、凯文·潘特，以及同样在欧洲篮球锦标赛受伤、目前仍在恢复中的达里奥·布里苏埃拉。后场的出场时间竞争将会异常激烈。
努涅斯的伤病，加上马刺队在控球后卫位置上的人员拥堵，使得他本赛季登陆NBA成为泡影。因此，这一消息实际上并不会影响圣安东尼奥对2025-26赛季的规划。这位年轻的场上指挥官年仅21岁，现在就将他排除在NBA潜力球员的行列之外是愚蠢的。他在青少年时期就被认为是一位极具吸引力的新星，这并非没有原因；尽管他也有一些批评者，但像巴塞罗那这样的欧冠联赛豪门愿意在他身上投资，这表明他的天赋依然存在。
然而，半月板撕裂加上这次新的挫折着实令人担忧。即使他能完全康复，并且在此过程中不会损失他本就不算顶级的运动能力，他仍在错失宝贵的成长时间。希望他能早日重返赛场，让自己的职业生涯重回正轨，并尽早成为马刺队一个现实的阵容深度选择。

Spurs’ stashed guard Juan Nuñez to have second knee surgery
There is bad news from Spain. Barcelona guard and Spurs former second-round pick Juan Nuñez will undergo exploratory arthroscopic surgery in his right knee after having a setback in his recovery from an operation to fix a torn meniscus, the club announced.
The Spurs selected Nuñez, a highly touted international point guard who developed in Real Madrid’s academy and the Spanish youth national teams, with the 36th pick in the 2024 draft. The idea was to stash the then 20-year-old in Barcelona, which acquired his rights after he had a strong season playing in the German league for Ratiopharm Ulm. He reportedly had an NBA out clause to join the Spurs if they were interested. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan so far.
Nuñez joined a stacked Barcelona team and struggled to get minutes. When he was on the floor, he showed flashes of brilliance as well as some notorious weaknesses. It was later revealed that he had been playing through a knee injury that required season-ending surgery in March and kept him out of consideration for EuroBasket, where Spain disappointed. He spent the summer recovering, played during preseason, and was expected to be an option early in the European season, which starts on September 30.

Unfortunately, there was inflammation in Nuñez’s right knee that didn’t subside with conservative treatment, leaving exploratory surgery as the best option. It’s a procedure that should help figure out what the issue is, which is a good thing in the long term. In the short term, however, it should sideline him for longer and could lead to him struggling to find playing time once he’s healthy. Barcelona got former Spur Nicolas Laprovittola back from injury and signed Argentinian guard Juan Marcos in the offseason. They still have Tomas Satoransky, Kevin Punter, and Dario Brizuela, who’s also recovering from an injury, which he suffered at Eurobasket. Competition for backcourt minutes should be fierce.
Nuñez’s injury, combined with the Spurs’ logjam at point guard, made the jump to the NBA this season impossible, so the news doesn’t really affect San Antonio’s plans for 2025/26. The young floor general is still just 21 years old, so it would be foolish to count him out as a potential NBA player. There was a reason he was considered such an intriguing prospect when he was a teenager, and while he has his detractors, the fact that a Euroleague staple like Barcelona has invested in him shows the talent is still there.
The torn meniscus and this new setback, however, are worrisome. Even if he makes a full recovery and doesn’t lose his already limited athleticism in the process, he’s missing out on crucial developmental minutes. Hopefully, he can return to action soon and get his career back on track, becoming a realistic depth option for the Spurs sooner rather than later.
