The disagreements between Real Madrid and the duo of Trey Thompkins and Thomas Huertel seem to have been settled, at least for now. The players were seen practicing with the team yesterday ahead of the EuroLeague playoffs.

Two weeks ago, the head coach of the team, Pablo Laso, announced that both players were suspended from the team. It was later revealed that both Heurtel and Thompkins were caught partying and were subsequently punished for violating the club's internal rules.

However, when it seemed that the duo might be out of the team, Laso denied the rumors last week.

"Thomas Heurtel and Trey Thompkins have never been out of the team," the coach explained. "We will see when we reinstate them if they will play again or not, but there is no doubt that they have not been out of the team."

Real Madrid have now published a video of their practice ahead of the EuroLeague playoffs matchup against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, in which both Heurtel and Thompkins can be seen practicing with their teammates in a regular manner.

The EuroLeague playoffs start today with FC Barcelona meeting FC Bayern Munich and AX Armani Exchange Milan clashing with Anadolu Efes Istanbul.

Real Madrid welcome Maccabi on Wednesday to mark Game 1 of the series. The match is scheduled to start at 19:00 GMT.
