He made his professional debut in October 2020 at 16 years, 10 months and 12 days, becoming the fourth-youngest player in club history and finishing his Liga Endesa debut with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and a 14 PIR.<\/p>\n<p>After stints with Real Betis, Movistar Estudiantes, Baloncesto Fuenlabrada and San Pablo Burgos, Nzosa now returns to Unicaja to bring energy, rim protection and defensive presence to the frontcourt.
