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.

Graduated in Corinthians' youth categories, Ítalo is coming off his most impressive season in the national basketball elite. He played 28 games in the NBB 23/24 for Cerrado, averaging 5.5 minutes per game, recording 1.5 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. The athlete stood out in the Development League, where he has played for Corinthians, Paulistano, São Paulo and Sociedade Thalia.


As he had already reached the quota of three foreign players, Flamengo turned its focus to the national market in search of another pivot. The choice of Ítalo Honorato represents a bet on a young talent that can be used as needed. The pivot's contract with FlaBasquete runs until the end of the year.


As a result, Flamengo's squad for the 2024/25 season currently includes:

< Point guards: Franco Balbi and Alexey Borges

Shooting guards: Gui Deodato and Shaq Johnson


Wings: Jhonatan Luz* and Jordan Williams

Pivot forwards : Kayo Gonçalves and Lucas Siewert

Pivots: Galizzi and Ítalo Honorato

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.

Flamengo's departure to Brasília was a surprise at Galeão International Airport, in Rio de Janeiro. The former president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, 'shaked' one of the venue's entrances and arranged for the red-black delegation to go to the federal capital for the Brasileirão game against Criciúma.

Dilma's arrival to Rio de Janeiro was accompanied by reinforced security. A series of police and private security cars filled the hall of the airport's Noble Hall. The disembarkation of the former president, who presided over Brazil between 2011 and 2016, took place moments before the arrival of the red-black delegation.


After the disembarkation of Dilma Rousseff, the Flamengo bus arrived at the location to start the boarding. The players and the rest of the Flamengo staff carried out the travel procedure smoothly, with the exception of Bruno Spindel. Flamengo's executive director had to get out of his private car in the parking lot next to the Salão Nobre, unlike on other days, when he stops at the door of the venue. The change occurred due to the large number of security cars at the entrance.


Flamengo and Criciúma face each other this Saturday (20), starting at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match is crucial for Flamengo's aspirations in the competition, which is currently seeking to regain the top positions in the table.

The presence of Dilma Rousseff and the reinforced security scheme were an unexpected element in the embarkation of the Flamengo delegation, but did not affect the team's preparations for the important clash against Criciúma.
