Joventut Badalona has concluded their 2025-26 season after falling in the third game of the semifinals against Valencia Basket, led by Jean Montero. The orange team secured their spot in the final round of playoffs, where they will face Barça Basket. With several fronts to resolve in the roster, the club is certain that Dani Miret will remain at the helm. The former number 2 pick in the 2014 NBA draft arrived on loan to Joventut Badalona on February 26, where he has made a notable contribution: 12.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in the Liga Endesa regular, elevating his records to 16 points and 5.8 rebounds in the Basketball Champions League. In the current ACB playoffs, his numbers have remained solid, with 13.2 points and 4.3 rebounds in six games played. A testament to his immediate impact as a key piece since his arrival in the verd-i-negre project, he has also become an important player in Dani Miret's rotation. Joventut Badalona intends to continue counting on Jabari Parker for the 2026-27 season, although they must resolve two fundamental issues before they can certify his continuity in the Penya. On one hand, Jabari Parker must resolve his departure from Partizan Belgrade, a move that would involve contract termination and the player's right to compensation for his departure. Once that first step is overcome, the final decision of the player himself would come into play, who has already informed Joventut Badalona and Jordi Martí of his willingness to continue in the Penya, according to Jordi Valle's profile on X.
