CB Gran Canaria faces La Laguna Tenerife in a Canary Islands derby in the Liga Endesa, a key match for the yellow team looking to avoid relegation and for the Tenerife team aiming for the 'Playoffs'.

The Canary Islands basketball celebration is shaping up to be a true test for CB Gran Canaria, which must approach every remaining game as a final. Following a recent setback in Barcelona and victories by rival teams, the league standing is critical, with a hypothetical four-way tie potentially condemning the claret team to relegation to Primera FEB.
Meanwhile, La Laguna Tenerife, also not in their best form, arrives in Gran Canaria with the goal of securing their 'Playoffs' spot after the tough blow of elimination from the Basketball Champions League. The black and gold team will fight for one of the three remaining places to continue their postseason journey in a derby marked by urgency for both sides.
In the first leg, the claret team achieved a victory in Tenerife for the first time since 2019, breaking a negative streak. In that game, the collective effort of the team was fundamental, with a key player's performance standing out with 9 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 14 valuation credits.
The match between CB Gran Canaria and La Laguna Tenerife, corresponding to day 31 of the Liga Endesa, will be played this Thursday, May 14, at 8:30 PM Canary Islands time (9:30 PM peninsular time) at the Gran Canaria Arena. The game has been brought forward due to another team's participation in the Basketball Champions League Final Four.
The Canary Islands derby can be followed live via subscription on the usual channels offering DAZN for basketball. Additionally, it will also be available on Movistar Plus, on channels 87-89 of the platform, and on Orange.
