Unicaja has reached an agreement to sign shooting guard Chase Audige (1.93 meters, 26 years old). The American player, who also holds a Jamaican passport allowing him to play under a Cotonou license, joins from Bosna-Sarajevo until the end of the season.
Following this weekend's preliminary round, the Minicopa Endesa now has its final lineup. Unicaja's U14 team secured their place in the tournament, which runs parallel to the Copa del Rey, where they will battle it out for the title alongside Barça, Valencia Basket, Real Madrid, Cajasiete Fundación CB Canarias, Tirma Gran Canaria, Casademont Zaragoza, and Occident Bàsquet Manresa from February 18 to 22.
A stellar Casademont Zaragoza from the three-point line snatched another victory from Unicaja Alhaurín de la Torre, who never stopped competing and fought until the end (78-91). Manolo Trujillo's team was without Marcus Møller, who was away on international duty with Denmark. Wilmer Mejía and Javi Valero led the attack with 19 and 17 points, while Artūras Butajevas had a rating of 20 with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals. Lucas Langarita's 31 points proved decisive for the visitors' victory.

Unicaja's new player, Augustine Rubit, expressed his satisfaction at joining “a historic club” during his official presentation, where he was accompanied by the sporting director, Juanma Rodríguez, who was in charge of welcoming him to Málaga. The American center, who will wear the number 21 jersey—“it's the only reason, I've always worn that number,” he explained—said he was “happy” to join the club and embark on this new stage in his career.
