Pablo Orenga left El Sol Gironès Bisbal Bàsquet by mutual agreement, the club announced before hosting SD Huesca at Pavelló Vell.
The pivot is still recovering from a meniscus surgery he underwent last season. Because of his rehabilitation schedule, he has not yet played a game for the team.
“Both the club and the player have made every effort and put in maximum willingness to start this path together,” the club said in a statement reported by Diari de Girona. “Unfortunately, the circumstances and the timelines derived from the recovery process of his injury have not made it possible and both parties have considered that this is the best decision at the current time.”
Bisbal needs to return to winning ways to climb the standings after a difficult opening stretch. Head coach Eric Surís spoke about the realities of competing in the division during his pre-match press conference.

“We already imagined that it would be a complicated start, but the whole season will be too,” Surís told Diari de Girona. “It is the great challenge we have. From the moment we launched this project, I think everyone at Bisbal was very clear that it would be a major challenge.”
Surís pointed to defensive lapses and rebounding struggles as the primary areas requiring urgent improvement. He said that opponents are currently outmatching Bisbal physically and dictating the pace of play.
SD Huesca arrives at Pavelló Vell ranked fourth in the standings with four wins and two losses. Surís acknowledged the offensive firepower of the upcoming opponents.
“They are the highest-scoring team in the League and the best in all offensive statistics: three-point shooting, number of possessions, points scored,” Surís told Diari de Girona.
The fixture takes place on Saturday at 18:00 local time at Pavelló Vell.
