According to Diario SUR, with BasketNews sources confirming the agreement, the Spanish center has reached a deal with the Andalusian club for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>Hernangomez, 32, arrives after three seasons with Barcelona, where he never fully established himself as one of the club\u2019s leading players. His EuroLeague numbers gradually declined: 11.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in his first year, 7.9 and 4.2 in his second, and 5.6 points with 3.8 rebounds in around 14 minutes during the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n<p>Unicaja will add him to the frontcourt after Olek Balcerowski\u2019s move to Barcelona. A former New York Knicks, Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans big man, Hernangomez also has a strong r\u00e9sum\u00e9 with Spain\u2019s national team, winning the 2019 FIBA World Cup and earning EuroBasket 2022 MVP honors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spanish center will remain in Liga Endesa after three seasons with Barcelona and replace Olek
