Scores of fans filed past the silhouettes of cranes and construction work surrounding Barcelona's Camp Nou last Friday night. But they weren't there for the world famous soccer stadium. Instead, the sea of Barca jerseys was heading for the club's basketball arena, the Palau Blaugrana. There was an expectant but apprehensive buzz in the air the night marked a big occasion: Real Madrid were in town.

MADRID -- NBA veteran Trey Lyles has made the jump overseas by joining Real Madrid. The forward, who played the past three-plus seasons for the Sacramento Kings, signed a one-year contract Wednesday with the Spanish powerhouse, which plays both domestically and in the EuroLeague. Lyles, 29, was selected 12th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2015 NBA draft -- one spot ahead of former Kentucky teammate Devin Booker.
