MoraBanc Andorra Lose Pons to ASVEL, Evans to Promitheas, Guerrero Exits

MoraBanc Andorra confirmed on Tuesday a trio of departures from its roster for the 2026-27 season, with French forward Yves Pons heading to LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, Shannon Evans joining Promitheas Patras in Greece, and Rubén Guerrero leaving by mutual agreement.

The club first announced Pons's exit in the morning, stating it had reached an agreement to end the French player's contract early despite one year remaining. The 1.98m wing activated a release clause to return to ASVEL, the club he played for in 2022-23 and now led by NBA legend Tony Parker. ASVEL confirmed the signing on social media shortly after, praising his defensive range across positions and high intensity. MoraBanc thanked Pons for his effort and wished him well in his professional and personal future.

In 30 ACB appearances last season at the Bombonera, Pons averaged 22 minutes, eight points, three rebounds (2.4 defensive), 0.6 steals, 0.2 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 5.8 valuation. He posted career ACB highs in shooting: 63.3% on two-pointers, 40.9% from three, and 69.6% free throws. Across 75 career ACB games over three years, he holds averages of 7.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 6.4 valuation.

Later Tuesday, MoraBanc revealed a mutual termination with centre Rubén Guerrero, who saw limited action with averages of two points, 2.1 rebounds, and three valuation.

Greek club Promitheas Patras announced Evans's arrival in the afternoon, ending the guard's two seasons in Andorra despite an active contract. He finished 2025-26 with 13.4 points, 5.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 14.3 valuation per game—a slight uptick from 14.1 the previous year. Promitheas will enter Basketball Champions League qualifiers.

All three players had contracts with exit clauses, marking a rapid clear-out ahead of the new campaign.
