Isaac Nogués will not continue with Valencia Basket next season. According to Jon Chepkevich, the player has decided not to exercise the second year of his contract with the orange club to keep his aspirations of playing in the NCAA open.
The decision comes after a special season for the young player, who was part of the Valencia Basket team that won the Liga Endesa championship and also reached the EuroLeague Final Four.
Nogués, considered one of the most interesting young profiles in Spanish basketball, now prioritizes a possible college stint in the United States, an increasingly common path for European players seeking to combine athletic development, international exposure, and future projection.
His departure marks another move in a summer of changes for Valencia Basket, which continues to shape its roster for the 2026-27 season.
