Playing for FC Barcelona with Sasha Đjorđjević, Artūras Karnišovas, Rony Seikaly, Pau Gasol, and Šarūnas Jasikevičius helped make Navarro a better player, and he became one of the most promising young European players, early on in his career with Barcelona. All NBA mock drafts started to set him as a first round pick.
In the 2001–02 season, Navarro was plagued by injuries, and the Washington Wizards drafted Navarro in the second round (40th pick overall) of the 2002 NBA draft. Navarro declined the offer, preferring to stay with FC Barcelona.
On August 3, 2007, the Washington Wizards traded Navarro’s draft rights, to the Memphis Grizzlies, in exchange for a future first-round draft pick. Navarro would later be reunited with his former FC Barcelona and Spanish national teammate Pau Gasol, on the Grizzlies.
In his rookie NBA season, Navarro was one of the Grizzlies’ team leaders in three-point shooting (.361). He was named to the 2007–08 NBA All-Rookie Second Team, after averaging 10.9 points per game.
On June 18, 2008, Navarro signed a four-year deal worth €9.5 million euros net income (with an optional fifth year that would bring the total contract to €12 million euros net income) with Barcelona, his former team. A qualifying contract offer, that was tendered to Navarro by the Memphis Grizzlies, was eventually rescinded on September 10, 2009. This allowed the Grizzlies to sign former NBA MVP Allen Iverson.

That year he was selected to attend the Nike Hoop Summit, but he stayed in Europe, playing for the Barcelona pro team.

With the acquisitions of Dejan Bodiroga and Gregor Fučka in 2003, FC Barcelona won all the competitions they played in that year. It was the first time the club won the EuroLeague. By winning the Spanish ACB League, the Spanish King’s Cup, and the 2002–03 EuroLeague all in the same year, Barcelona won the coveted Triple Crown championship that year.
With Barcelona, Navarro has been on Liga ACB (Spanish League) championship teams eight times: 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014; the Spanish King’s Cup winners six times: 2001, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2013; the Spanish Supercup winners five times: 2004, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2015; the FIBA Korać Cup champions once: 1999; and the EuroLeague champions twice: 2003 and 2010.
Navarro has helped Barcelona reach the EuroLeague Final Four seven times: 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2014. Navarro has been selected to the All-EuroLeague Team seven times: 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. In 2006, Juan Carlos Navarro earned the regular season Most Valuable Player award of the Spanish Liga ACB. He was named the Spanish Liga ACB Finals Most Valuable Player in 2009 and 2011. He was named the EuroLeague MVP in 2009, and the EuroLeague Final Four MVP in 2010.
He played with the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA for one season, in 2007–08, then re-signed with FC Barcelona in the summer of 2008, on a 4-year €9.5 million euros net income contract with a €10 million euros buyout. The contract also included an optional fifth year, which brought the total contract to €12 million euros net income.
In 2012, Barcelona picked up the fifth optional year of his contract (€2.5 million euros net income) and extended him for another two additional years, at a salary of €2.6 million per season after that, bringing the total to €7.7 million euros net income over three years.
Over the 2014–15 season, Navarro experienced several problems with his right leg. In late December 2014, it was announced that he would miss up to six weeks of action, due to a torn muscle in his right thigh.
