CB Canarias faces the final games of the Liga Endesa with two significant absences: point guard Marcelinho Huertas and forward Aaron Doornekamp will not be available for the match against Joventut.

The 'aurinegro' team faces a significant setback in the final stretch of the championship. Marcelinho Huertas is suffering from a muscle tear in the femoral biceps of his left thigh. The player is under medical supervision, and his return to the team will depend on his recovery, casting doubt on his participation in the decisive part of the league.
Added to the Brazilian point guard's absence is that of Aaron Doornekamp, who has also not managed to recover in time for the game against Joventut. The Canadian player had already missed the previous match against Barça due to a quadriceps tendon overload in his right knee.
To cover these absences, coach Txus Vidorreta will complete the 12-player roster with Dylan Bordón and Moha Sangare. For the visiting team, former CB Canarias player Yannis Morin will make his debut.
