Marc García Antonell (born 7 March 1996) is a Spanish professional basketball player for MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza of the PLK. He is considered one of the most promising young Spanish players of his generation.[1]

Professional career

García came through the youth ranks of Bàsquet Manresa, before transferring to FC Barcelona B, where he spent his first senior season (2012–13).

In July 2016, García was sent to ACB outfit CB Sevilla on a two-year loan deal.[4] However, after the relegation of the Andalusian team, Barcelona terminated the loan.
