Unicaja prepares for preseason debut against Melilla Ciudad del Deporte

Unicaja is set to play its first preseason game of the season this Sunday, August 30, against Melilla Ciudad del Deporte at the III Memorial Javier Imbroda. The match, scheduled for 20:00, marks the debut of the team under new coach Txus Vidorreta following a period of significant roster changes.

The squad will be missing five players due to FIBA international windows, including Tyler Kalinoskies, Alberto Díaz, Willy Hernangómez, Amine Noua, and Melwin Pantzar. This absence allows younger players such as Alonso de la Iglesia, Nikola Tomic, and Daniel Guiddens to participate in the 12-man expedition.

Bosnian forward Nihad Djedovic noted that the team has been training intensely during the preseason despite the absence of national team players. He described the atmosphere as positive, citing a sense of motivation brought by the new coaching staff and roster updates.
