Unicaja is gearing up for an Endesa League clash against Covirán Granada, where the exceptional performance of a Croatian player is emerging as the main challenge for the Málaga team.

Covirán Granada, free from the pressure of relegation to Primera FEB, will face Unicaja this Sunday. All eyes are on the Croatian power forward, who has matched an ACB record by achieving five consecutive games with 30 or more valuation credits, a feat not seen in 18 years.
This Balkan player has shown remarkable consistency, reaching 33 valuation in the last match against UCAM Murcia. Prior to that, he recorded 32 credits against Basquet Girona, 35 against Hiopos Lleida, 30 at Valencia Basket's court, and 33 against BAXI Manresa, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the competition.

"The Croatian player is, for now, the most valued in the entire ACB, the one who plays the most minutes, and the one who scores the most free throws in the championship."

a team spokesperson
His statistics reflect a high-level season, with an average of 15.3 points per game, 53.5 percent on two-point shots, and 34.1 percent on three-pointers. Additionally, he averages 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 22 valuation credits. After leaving Valencia Basket last summer, he has found in Granada the ideal setting to assert himself as one of the most decisive players in the Endesa League.
Unicaja, facing the match with some significant absences, knows that to contain Covirán Granada, the key will be to neutralize the impact of this player, whose individual performance has been outstanding throughout the season.
