Players from MoraBanc Andorra, including veterans and new additions, completed initial fitness evaluations at Ordino's High-Performance Centre to prepare for the Liga Endesa season after a tough year.

Key Points

  • First group including Rafa Luz, Kyle Kuric, and new signings like Cameron McGriff underwent stress tests, blood work, and podiatry reviews.
  • Further assessments scheduled for Friday; full roster assembly ongoing with arrivals like Iwundu expected soon.
  • Tests establish baselines for personalized plans ahead of first on-court session Saturday.
  • Roster overhaul follows survival of relegation battle under coach Zan Tabak.

MoraBanc Andorra players have begun medical and physical assessments at the Ordino High-Performance Centre (CTEO) as preseason training gets underway.

A first group of squad members—including holdovers Rafa Luz, Kyle Kuric, Chumi Ortega, and Artem Pustovyi, along with young prospect Luka Bottiroli and Aaron Best—underwent the initial checks on Thursday. The evaluations covered stress tests, symmetry studies to identify imbalances or lingering issues, standard blood work, and podiatry reviews for insoles and foot-specific concerns.

New signings Cameron McGriff, Leon Radosevic, Owen Aquino, and Lazar Mutic also started the process, with further controls scheduled for Friday for additional reinforcements and remaining players. The full roster will take time to assemble, as arrivals including Iwundu, Akinjo, and Robertson are expected in the coming days.

Physiotherapy and performance specialists used the tests to establish baseline fitness levels and design personalized preparation plans ahead of the Liga Endesa season. The first on-court session is set for Saturday at the Toni Martí pavilion.

This marks the start of a rebuild after last season's relegation battle, which the team survived under coach Zan Tabak following a midseason change. Officials overhauled the roster with multiple additions to strengthen the squad for the campaign ahead.
