July 15, 2021

Valencia Basket confirmed this Thursday the signing of power forward Jasiel Rivero after the Cuban power forward made effective the rescission clause to leave San Pablo Burgos, the club in which he has played the last two seasons.

The Cuban forward, who currently holds a foreign player spot in the Liga ACB, has signed a two-season contract with Valencia.

Rivero (Havana, 1993) is 206 centimeters tall, joined the Burgos team in the summer of 2018 and after one season on loan at Argentine Boca Juniors joined the squad under coach Joan Peñarroya, who will now manage him again at Valencia.

In these two seasons, Rivero has been a key piece in San Pablo's successes, which has won two editions of the FIBA Champions League and the Intercontinental. In his two seasons in the Liga ACB, he has averaged 11 points and 5 rebounds with an average of 22 minutes on the court.

Early in the morning, Burgos announced Rivero's departure following the payment of a rescission clause that, according to what Efe was able to learn, amounted to approximately 150,000 euros.
