A Unicaja side that was versatile in attack and rock-solid in defence clinched the 3rd Javier Imbroda Memorial with a 67–105 victory over Melilla Ciudad del Deporte. Txus Vidorreta’s side were never under pressure and had the match well in hand by half-time. The new signings made a very positive impression, particularly Ignas Brazdeikis. Kendrick Perry was the standout performer with 19 points, 9 assists and a performance rating of 28. Yannick Nzosa was the only downside, having to leave the match after sustaining an injury to his left foot.

Txus Vidorreta’s Unicaja are already focusing on their first pre-season fixture against Melilla Ciudad del Deporte this Sunday 30th at 8.00 pm. The 3rd Javier Imbroda Memorial will mark the start of this new chapter for the Málaga-based club under the guidance of their Basque coach.
