According to BasketNews sources, the Spanish prospect is leaving Real Madrid and is heading to ratiopharm Ulm, which will compete in the EuroCup next season. The club later officially confirmed the information.

The young playmaker led Spain to a U20 European title in July, averaging 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.6 steals for 14.4 PIR while being two years younger than the competition.

Nunez is now training with the Spanish national team for the 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers and EuroBasket 2022. "Everything is going very fast but I try to enjoy this experience and get the best I can out of this," he said at the start of the camp.

Last season, Nunez was only an occasional player for Real Madrid. He played in just 10 EuroLeague games with an average playing time of under five minutes.

The guard appeared on court 22 times in the Spanish Liga Endesa and averaged 1.1 points and 0.8 assists in just over 6 minutes of play.
