Felipe Minzer, Argentine shooting guard, made his Endesa League debut with Casademont Zaragoza this Sunday in a loss against Real Madrid. The young player became the youngest debutant of the nationality of Argentina and the second youngest in the club where he plays.
A record of a little experience and, does history repeat itself?
The Endesa league, since its creation, has always been a great destination for Argentines. This further indicates the transfer of the South Americans to the Spanish competition, the best in FIBA basketball.
Glimpses of what Argentina’s basketball future is starting to show. Minzer has already played in competitions such as FIBAAmericas U16 in Yucatán 2023 with the Albiceleste team.
At the age of 16 years and 11 days, Felipe Minzer won the title of the youngest player born in Argentina to debut in the ACB, in addition to being the first athlete in the league born in 2007. He also won the second position of acting at a young age in Casademont Zaragoza.
Although he is not the only young debutante of the Madrid afternoon. Youssouf Traoré, aged 16 years, 8 months and 29 days, also had his first participation, becoming the fifth youngest player in Zaragoza’s squad.
The curious thing comes from the rival side, because they face Real Madrid and this double performance of players 16 years old or younger has not happened since the merengue team put a Luka Doncic and Dino Randoncic in the field with the same age range. It was the first time in Casademont history that two such young basketball players made their debut in the same game. Will history repeat itself and will there be another like the Slovenian youth player from Real Madrid?
