"A city like Granada always deserves a team in the ACB," said Xavi Pascual, who could not count on Tomás Satoransky, Will Clyburn or Jan Vesely, who announced on Tuesday that he will retire at the end of the season.

Hiopos Lleida, without the necessary desire

La Penya, without their Croatian beacon

L'Asisa Joventut opens against MoraBanc Andorra a final stretch of the season in which qualifying among the top six is the main objective. La Penya, who has won 11 of the 14 games played at home, wants to make a strong stand at the Palau Olímpic. Dani Miret will not be able to count on Ante Tomic, who will miss the rest of the season due to the injury he has in his right hamstring. "Our objective was to finish in the top 4, but it will not be possible," lamented Michael Ruzic.
