He will be replaced by Chus Mateo, his assistant, who already took the lead of the team while Pablo Laso was tested positive for Covid-19 mid-December. Real Madrid are currently up 2-0 in the ACB playoffs against Baskonia in the semifinal. Third game, on Tuesday.

During his recovery, his assistant, Chus Mateo coached Real Madrid against Baskonia. It went quite well as they swept their opponent. He talked about a potential comeback of Pablo Laso during this series.

“I am not able to tell you for sure if I’ll be coaching through the entire series. Pablo is fine, regardless of whether or not he is for a game, he will continue being with us.”
