This Tuesday (26), Orgulho da Nação will return to the courts to face Paulistano in the NBB. The Mais Querido enters the final stretch of the regular phase of the national competition. This way, fans will be able to follow Rubro Negro in another important match, as it is worth consolidating their leadership.FLAMENGO AND PAULISTANO LIVE IN DIFFERENT MOMENTS Flamengo and Paulistano are experiencing different moments in the NBB . That's because Mais Querido comes from a winning streak. The last match, against Franca, Rubro Negro won 88 to 73 and the players' celebration was great in the locker room. Flamengo has the same 55 points as the French team and can isolate themselves in the lead if they beat Paulistano.

Tonight's opponent comes from a victory over União Corinthians, but the moment is not good. This is because the team has been oscillating, and before the victory, they had three consecutive defeats. Thus, both teams will seek victory to stay alive in the NBB.

The fight for leadership in the NBB will be very fierce and the Flamengo will have to do well in the last six games remaining in the regular phase. In addition to Paulistano, Mais Querido will face São Paulo, Unifacisa, Basquete Cearense, Corinthians and Pinheiros.

Flamengo announced another signing for the basketball squad for the 2024/25 season this Thursday (26) . The club officially announced the arrival of 23-year-old center Ítalo Honorato, who will complete the team.

This past Tuesday (17), Felipe Motta announced his departure from Flamengo through his social networks, after one season. Now, the athlete will defend Rubro-Negro's rival, Botafogo in NBB 2024/25.

Felipe was revealed as an athlete with great potential. The young man played for the Brazilian National Team's youth teams, went through the NBA Global Academy, the North American league's development program, and played for Fortaleza before arriving at Rubro-Negro last season. He was champion of the Super 8 Cup and was part of the runner-up in the NBB.


However, Felipe only had a few minutes on the court per game and very discreet numbers. The winger played 5 minutes on average per game and had the following statistics: 1.3 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists. The young man had more opportunities in LNb 2024 and did well in the fourth place campaign, but both parties reached an agreement and ended the relationship.

FELIPE MOTTA SAYS GOODBYE TO FLAMENGO

On his social networks, Felipe Motta thanked Mais Querido and sent a message to the Nation: “Thank you Flamengo. It was an honor to be part of and play for the red and black nation.”


It is expected that Felipe will have more minutes at Botafogo and can establish himself among the elite of Brazilian basketball. The new NBB 2024/25 season will start in the second week of October, and Mais Querido will face Vasco in the first round.
