The 2024/25 season was a remarkable one for FlaBasquete . Champion of the BCLA and the Super 8 Cup, the team found consistency under the command of Sérgio Hernández and saw Alexey Borges, Ruan Miranda and Gui Deodato become key players. Thinking about repeating or even surpassing their performance, the red-black board has already moved to ensure the permanence of the three.
According to the 'RepórterNBB' profile, which specializes in covering Brazilian basketball, Flamengo has already made the necessary changes to its contracts with the trio. Keeping these names is considered a priority by the coaching staff. Alexey Borges was the big name for FlaBasquete this season. With averages of 13.4 points, 8.6 assists and 3.0 rebounds, he not only led the team in decisive moments but was also elected MVP of both the BCLA and the Super 8 Cup.
In the NBB, a competition in which Flamengo stopped in the semifinals, the point guard continued to be the team's individual highlight. His renewal is seen as a pillar for the continuity of the sports project, especially considering the Interclub World Cup that the Rubro-Negro will compete in in September. Another important name that will remain is Ruan Miranda.
The center had a solid season upon his return to the club. Averaging 11.7 points and 5.8 rebounds, he showed defensive security and efficiency on both ends of the court. Ruan's dominance in the paint was a differentiator in BCLA's victorious campaign and caught the attention not only of the fans, but also of the new coaching staff.
Gui Deodato 's transformation was one of the hallmarks of the Sergio Hernández era. The forward began to play the role of sixth man, coming off the bench with energy and scoring ability. He averaged 11.4 points and 2.9 rebounds, and gained the trust of the fans and the coach. Deodato became an indispensable name in the rotation, mainly due to his consistency in three-pointers and defensive intensity.

Flamengo will have two important absences for the duel against Bahia, this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship . Defender Léo Pereira and full-back Alex Sandro received their third yellow card in the goalless draw against Cruzeiro and are serving an automatic suspension.
Alex Sandro was cautioned in the 11th minute for a hard foul on Christian without the ball. Léo Pereira was booked for fouling Kaio Jorge, accumulating infractions that resulted in a suspension . The absence of the duo forces changes in the red-and-black defense.
With the absences, coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes. The likely starting lineup includes Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Viña (or Ayrton Lucas); Jorginho (Allan or De La Cruz), Saúl, and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata (or Carrascal), and Pedro . Leading the table with 55 points, Flamengo is looking to open up a gap over Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, who are closely tied.
On the other side, Bahia faces a crisis of absences. There are 13 confirmed absences—between suspensions and injuries—in addition to doubts like Ramos Mingo, who was injured in the last match. The Esquadrão, currently sixth with 40 points , will face an even greater challenge against the championship leader.

Bahia will have great difficulties when facing Flamengo this Sunday (5), in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Rogério Ceni has 13 absences, a record number of the season , for the clash at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
The Tricolor de Aço will have absences across all positions: goalkeeper, defense, full-backs, midfield, and attack. Nine players are injured and four are suspended, forcing the coach to resort to an alternative formation to face the league leaders.
Among the players missing are Luciano Juba, Rodrigo Nestor, Santiago Arias, and Sanabria , as well as players recovering from injuries like Kanu and Erick. The situation forces Ceni to assemble a new defense and even consider potential debutants.
With so many absences, Rogério Ceni should send an alternative team to the field against Flamengo : Ronaldo; Gilberto, Fredi, Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (or Michel Araújo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.
