Unicaja's Power-forward Tyson Pérez will undergo conservative treatment lasting around four weeks to recover from an injury to the Achilles tendon in his right foot.

Unicaja Mijas secured an authoritative victory in their visit to Cajasol Baloncesto Sevilla Femenino (51-78), in a match that changed course after a demanding start and was sealed with a third quarter of enormous defensive solidity. Javi Pérez de los Reyes' team once again demonstrated its depth and ability to adjust, with Lydia Rivers making a good impression in her debut for the Malaga team and a collective effort that ultimately overwhelmed the home side.

Unicaja Alhaurín de la Torre enjoyed its return to the U League with a resounding victory over Bilbao Basket (88-68).

Alonso de la Iglesia put in an outstanding performance with 19 points without missing a field goal (8/8), 3 assists and 28 points in the efficiency rating.

American power forward Lydia Rivers joins Unicaja Mijas to strengthen the squad in the decisive stage of the season. With experience in LF Endesa and LF Challenge, the center will enjoy her fourth spell in Spanish basketball after spells with Embutidos Pajariel Bembibre, Cadí La Seu, and La Laguna Toyota Adareva.
