Forward/point guard Marcelinho received a beautiful birthday present this Tuesday, April 12.04th. The captain of the red-and-black team returned to play football after a week of physical therapy. Marcelinho is recovering from a neck injury that was radiating to his right arm.

Besides playing the final games of the second season of the NBB (New Basketball Brazil) with great effort, Marcelinho missed the Interleague Tournament, held from April 8th to 10th in Mendoza, Argentina. After his work on the court, the player was even given a cake to celebrate his 36th birthday.
