After confirming that Shay Murphy will be part of the squad, the sports director Laia Palau explained that “she came with the intention of helping us in the last stretch of pre-season but it is true that she was a player we were considering because she has a European passport and as a shooter she can fill Magaly’s position Mendi”. “Physically he is fine, he continues to put them in, he has experience and a lot of desire to play. He feels that he has outstanding debts in Girona, but also with the opportunity to enjoy basketball in a team like Uni Girona,” he said. Regarding the Catalan League, Palau has assured that “I want the team to win” and that “we have organized it very strongly to enjoy a special weekend”. “I encourage everyone to come to Fontajau“, he insisted.

Tickets are going well. Subscribers can withdraw their tickets, there are still some who have not done so and we have some available to fill Fontajau. We want it to be a party and the home of Catalan basketball”, commented the Uni president, Cayetano Perez. At the same time, he has advanced that on Sunday in the final there will be a “very special and emotional” act with the withdrawal of Laia Palau’s shirt which will be hung in Fontajau next to that of Albert Sàbat – Básquet Girona took advantage of the premiere at the ACB to pay tribute to him. “Hopefully you can all be there to cheer on a great player and our great captain”, he added.
