Unicaja secured a comfortable 111-82 win against Elan Chalon. The team imposed their rhythm in a strong second half to seal their second victory in the Round of 16. Kendrick Perry stood out tonight (17 points, 4 assists, 22 PIR) in a game that also saw the debut of Justin Cobbs, Unicaja's latest signing.
Unicaja's new player, Justin Cobbs, is presented to the media in the Martín Carpena press room. The American point guard with a Montenegrin passport admits that, after twelve years as a professional, it is a “great honor” to be part of the Club.
Unicaja's sporting director, Juanma Rodríguez, admits that the season is proving to be “unusual,” marked by circumstances that have not been experienced in previous seasons, but that he is “very happy with how the team is doing.” He also appreciates the impact that the profound renewal of the squad has had. “We knew it was going to be a difficult year, coming off years with an almost perfect level of success and absence of injuries, which is not normal. Even so, the team is competing very well.”
Unicaja hosts Elan Chalon this Tuesday at the Carpena Arena in a new round of the BCL Round of 16 (8:30 p.m., broadcasted by Teledeporte and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio). The team needs a victory to distance themselves from a tough opponent with whom they are currently tied in the standings. The game will also see the debut of the team's new signing, point guard Justin Cobbs.
Starting this February, season ticket holders who attend all Unicaja matches at Martín Carpena, both Endesa League and BCL, will receive a 10% discount on the renewal of their season ticket for the 2026-27 season.
