Yannick Kraag Remains on Loan at Joventut After Signing with Dubai

Yannick Kraag will continue this season at ASISA Joventut, though his rights are now tied to Dubai Basketball. The Catalan club announced that the Dutch player exercised his release clause to sign with the UAE project, but all three parties reached an agreement for him to remain in Badalona on loan.

The deal allows Joventut to retain a player who knows the organization and has been growing within the club since his arrival in 2019. Kraag, already integrated into the first team, will continue in an environment he considers suitable for his continued development.

The player's willingness was important in closing the arrangement. According to the club, Kraag wanted to continue in Badalona, and that facilitated the agreement between Joventut, Dubai Basketball, and the player himself.

For Penya, continuity has sporting value. Kraag brings physicality, energy, and depth to a roster that maintains a rotation piece without needing to disrupt the work done in recent years.

Dubai, meanwhile, adds a player with future potential without interrupting his progression. The chosen path is clear: sign him, let him compete one more season in the ACB, and then assess his evolution.

Kraag will continue wearing the green and black this campaign, but now within an operation with a medium-term outlook for Dubai Basketball.
