This morning, Napoli players already in town — Guglielmo Caruso, Stefano Gentile, Leonardo Faggian, and Stefano Saccoccia — accompanied by Sporting Director Alessandro Di Fede, completed the standard preseason medicals at Centro BECA Medical, under the supervision of Napoli Basket’s Head of Medical Staff, Prof. Dr. Beniamino Casillo.
The routine examinations were followed by specialized tests conducted with the oversight of Dr. Armando Gatto (orthopedic and rehabilitation specialist) and Dr. Gaetano Iaquinto (nutrition biologist). Tomorrow, Napoli’s new American signings — Simms, Bolton, Croswell, and El-Amin — will undergo their medicals and testing. Flagg is scheduled to arrive in Naples on Wednesday, August 20.
In the coming days, the team will also complete athletic testing under the close supervision of strength and conditioning coach Prof. Mattia Digno. Medicals and tests will also be carried out for Napoli Basket youth players Manuel Esposito, James Forchetta, and Georgian prospect Lasha Khundadze, who will train with the first team during this initial stage and take part in the training camp in Campobasso, August 24–30.
