The 2009–10 season was FC Barcelona's 83rd in existence, their 45th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish basketball and 11th consecutive season in the EuroLeague.
In the 2009–10 season, FC Barcelona competed in the Liga ACB, Copa del Rey, Spanish Supercup and EuroLeague, winning the latter three.
Overview Pre-season Head coach Xavi Pascual stayed at the helm for his second season after taking over the team the previous March.
Four players left the team during the summer; David Andersen and Ersan İlyasova terminated their contracts and left for the NBA while Andre Barrett made his way to the NBA Development League after reaching a mutual agreement with the club to terminate his contract. Daniel Santiago returned to his home country, Puerto Rico, after his contract with Barcelona expired.
Small forward Pete Mickeal was the first signing of the summer, announced on June 29. He had previously faced Barcelona in the 2009 ACB Finals while playing for Caja Laboral. American power forward Terence Morris was announced as a new Barcelona player on July 12, acquired from CSKA Moscow through a contract buyout. Senegalese center Boniface N'Dong joined on July 18, signing as a free agent after his contract with Unicaja had expired. On August 18, Barcelona reinforced the center position by signing Slovene Erazem Lorbek, also from CSKA Moscow. Finally, Barcelona acquired young talent Ricky Rubio from rivals DKV Joventut. Barcelona signed the Catalan point guard by reportedly paying a record transfer fee of 3.7 million euros, the highest in Spanish basketball history.
In September, Barcelona played friendly games against Bàsquet Manresa and Bilbao Basket before taking part in an exhibition tournament held in Reus. Barcelona won the 'StagePro' tournament after beating Valencia Basket in the semifinals and Real Madrid in the final. Between September 26 and 27, Barcelona took part in the 2009 edition of the Lliga Catalana de Bàsquet, held in the Palau Sant Jordi, Barcelona. After beating CB Sant Josep in the semifinals, Barcelona won the final against Joventut Badalona, with Ricky Rubio named Final MVP.
