Marcelinho Huertas Ends His Time at Tenerife

After more than seven seasons on the island, Marcelinho Huertas has reached a mutual agreement to part ways with the club. The point guard will play his final Liga Endesa game next Saturday in Andorra.

A legend, whom we have had the immense fortune to enjoy in our colors. The Club and Marcelinho Huertas have reached an agreement for the player's departure, who will begin a new professional adventure away from the Island, after eight seasons as a Canary Islander.

Both parties confirmed this officially at midday, during an emotional press conference held at Santiago Martín, where the player also revealed that he will play his final game with the team this Saturday, coinciding with the visit to Morabanc Andorra.

Marce arrived at the island club in the summer of 2019 and has marked an era both on and off the court, leaving an indelible mark and a legacy for history. The Brazilian international point guard has worn the Canary colors in a total of 384 official games across all competitions: 252 ACB games, twelve Copa del Rey games, three Supercopa Endesa games, 107 Basketball Champions League (BCL) games, six Eurocup games, and four Intercontinental Cup games.

He was one of the main architects of a glorious era, which has included a BCL title, two Intercontinental Cups, and a Copa del Rey runner-up finish, as well as having led the team to almost unthinkable heights, including three ACB semifinals and five Copa del Rey semifinals, among other achievements.

His time on the Island has also meant countless historic individual records, at club level, in the ACB itself, and in continental competitions. All-time leading assist provider in Liga Endesa, a milestone he achieved as a Tenerife player, Marce also managed during his time in Tenerife to be the ACB MVP for 24/25 and the first player to repeat the Basketball Champions League MVP award, in the 23/24 and 24/25 seasons. Furthermore, he became the club's all-time leading scorer and assist provider in the elite league; and the second most valued.

Beyond the numbers, records, and titles, Marce has been an example of professionalism, competitive spirit, charisma, and leadership. His legacy will remain indelible among Tenerife fans, who will never forget his magic. Having enjoyed his sporting and human quality has been a true privilege, so Huertas will always occupy a special place in the history of this club, which will remember him with eternal affection and gratitude, while wishing him the very best in his personal and professional future.

From the heart, a thousand THANKS for everything, Marce. Always, one of us!
