Stats, updates, injuries, milestones to achieve and a look back at Matchday 25 of the Liga Endesa 2025-26.
SATURDAY, APRIL 4
18:00 Surne Bilbao - Unicaja
🏀 The matchup: A crucial game in the playoff race between two direct rivals who both stumbled away from home last matchday. If Surne Bilbao wins, they would tie Unicaja's 15 victories, though they would remain 9th having played one more game. If the Málaga side wins, they would open up a two-win advantage (with the possibility of three), plus the head-to-head tiebreaker.
📊 The stat: Ibon Navarro remains undefeated against the Hombres de Negro as Unicaja's head coach (8/8) after also winning in the opening matchday 86-68. Balcerowski is averaging 17.5 points with 82.4% from the field in his last two league games and was crucial in the first meeting with 17 points in just 20 minutes.
👤 The protagonist: Alberto Díaz will reach 400 games in Liga Endesa almost 14 years after his debut in the competition, which came under Luis Casimiro. He played 13 games on loan at Bilbao Basket (2013-14), 34 also on loan at Montakit Fuenlabrada (2014-15) and has accumulated 352 with his hometown club. Unicaja's captain has lost a total of zero turnovers in 2026 across 141 minutes in Liga Endesa; in fact, he has the best assist-to-turnover ratio in history and is shooting better than ever from the field (66.7%), plus nearly 40% from three and 89% from the free throw line.
19:00 Coviran Granada - Bàsquet Girona
🏀 The matchup: Coviran Granada finally broke through after stringing together two consecutive wins at the Palacio, where they now host a Bàsquet Girona team settled in the middle of the standings. The head-to-head record favors the Catalan team, who won in November 82-76. A year ago, the last meeting in Granada went the home team's way.
📊 The stat: The first meeting had two very different halves. In thirteen minutes, the game went from a +11 visitor lead to a +10 home lead. Livingston, who had 20 points and 7 assists, sparked the comeback in a second half in which he scored 18 points.
👤 The protagonist: Small forward Cameron Hildreth signed with Bàsquet Girona this week through the end of the season. At 23 years old and 1.95 meters tall, the player arrives from the Noblesville Boom, the Indiana Pacers' affiliate team that plays in the G League.
20:00 Dreamland Gran Canaria - Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos
🏀 The matchup: More fuel to the fire in a relegation battle that is already heating up. Despite their recent poor run, Dreamland Gran Canaria remains one win above the relegation zone and has the head-to-head tiebreaker over Andorra and Granada. On the other side, Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos has reinforced their roster and holds a +13 advantage over the Canary Islands team after beating them in late 2025 94-81.
📊 The stat: Beyond the production of Corbalán (20 points) or Jackson (23 in efficiency rating), what gave the Burgos side wings in the first meeting was their strong work on the offensive glass: they grabbed half of the rebounds that occurred on their offensive end (20). The yellow team leads the head-to-head by the slimmest margin (6-5 overall and 3-2 in Gran Canaria).
👤 The protagonist: American shooting guard Jaden Shackelford, 25 years old, has joined Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos and could make his debut today. He stands out for his scoring potential from beyond the arc. Combo Max Heidegger, who has ACB experience as a Baskonia player, could also make his debut with the Burgos club.
21:00 Asisa Joventut - UCAM Murcia
🏀 The matchup: Another direct matchup with plenty on the line to close out Saturday. The significant absences of Tomic and Birgander at center put Asisa Joventut's exuberant form to the test, as they have won six straight games in Liga Endesa. UCAM Murcia is not far behind either, having won 6 of their last 7 league games and holding a +3 head-to-head advantage (80-77).
📊 The stat: In the first meeting, two baskets by Sant-Roos in the final 17 seconds, including a steal, sealed a thrilling game. The key players showed up: 22 points from Ennis, 20 from Tomic, 26 in efficiency rating from Cate, 10 assists from Ricky, double-digit scoring from Hunt and DeJulius...
SUNDAY, APRIL 5
12:15 BAXI Manresa - Kosner Baskonia
🏀 The matchup: Chapter number 99 of a historic rivalry dating back to January 1973 that has produced great battles like the 1998 final. Kosner Baskonia, who lead the head-to-head 57-41, has won the last 6 consecutive meetings. Manresa's last victory came in 2022 in Frankie Ferrari's stellar return (28 in efficiency rating).
📊 The stat: Earlier this year, the Vitoria club tied the Liga Endesa record for three-pointers in a game (23), came one point short of their scoring record and handed BAXI Manresa one of their worst defeats with a 130-85 victory. A total of eight Baskonia players reached double figures in scoring.
👤 The protagonist: Kosner Baskonia will play their 1,900th league game this Sunday at midday, more than half a century after their debut in the top flight, which came in 1972-73. The Basque club played 252 games in the defunct Liga Nacional and has accumulated 1,646 in the ACB era, in which they have won 10% of the Liga Endesa trophies (4). Only four other clubs have reached 1,900 games.
12:30 Hiopos Lleida - La Laguna Tenerife
🏀 The matchup: La Laguna Tenerife visits the Barris Nord for the second time, where they won in their debut a year ago despite the absence of Txus Vidorreta, with the goal of avenging their stumble in early 2026.
📊 The stat: Hiopos Lleida was able to raid the Santiago Martín a few months ago winning 87-94 after opening up a +17 lead in the second half. Batemon (21 points) and Goloman (26 in efficiency rating) were the Lleida leaders against the masterful direction of Huertas (13 assists) and the interior power of Shermadini (18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks).
👤 The protagonist: Marcelinho Huertas is four assists away from being the first La Laguna Tenerife player to reach 1,500 in Liga Endesa. That's more than double the next player on the list: Fitipaldo (2nd with 730). Only four legends have reached this figure with the same club: Llull (Real Madrid), Laso (Baskonia), Azofra (Estudiantes) and Navarro (Barcelona).
17:00 Real Madrid - MoraBanc Andorra
🏀 The matchup: Real Madrid has only suffered two defeats in the 15 visits by MoraBanc Andorra to the Movistar Arena, with the last one coming in 2022. Already this season, the Principality club gave the whites serious problems in a game that was decided in the final moments (85-90).
📊 The stat: Right in that first meeting, the home team led on the scoreboard for more than 22 minutes and went up by 10. Real Madrid, very inaccurate from three (19%), made their stand in the paint (71% from the field). And in the absence of Campazzo, Maledon stepped up with 13 in efficiency rating in a fourth quarter that decided the game.
18:00 Valencia Basket - Río Breogán
🏀 The matchup: 15 of the 19 games played in Valencia have gone the orange team's way. Río Breogán went more than two decades without winning at the Fonteta, but then won two straight between 2021 and 2023; now they will debut at the Roig Arena.
📊 The stat: In the second matchday, Valencia Basket turned the game around with a 14-0 run in the second quarter, including 11 points from Moore, to finish winning 90-113. The most efficient players on both sides were Spanish: Alonso (21) and Pradilla (28).
👤 The protagonist: Erik Quintela could reach 100 games in Liga Endesa after five seasons in the competition. The now-Río Breogán captain was part of the team's last promotion after returning to the club in 2020. He will be the 15th player, and 2nd active after Sakho, to reach the century mark of league games with the Galician team.
18:30 Casademont Zaragoza - Barcelona
🏀 The matchup: The Príncipe Felipe has been a cursed venue for Barcelona in recent times. Casademont Zaragoza has gone from scraping just two wins in Barcelona's first 13 visits to winning four consecutive games since 2022. The last one by 13 points.
📊 The stat: Barcelona opened 2026 with a comfortable 100-80 victory over the Zaragoza side with Fall playing elegantly. The 2.21-meter giant added 20 in efficiency rating and a +19 in plus-minus in just 17 minutes on the court.
👤 The protagonist: Tomas Satoransky is three assists away from being the 2nd player after Navarro (1,637) to reach 900 with Barcelona in Liga Endesa. The Czech point guard has a streak of 194 consecutive games with at least one assist, a run that started in April 2015 and is only surpassed by Huertas (356) among active players.
