Jaworski, the Gipuzkoa star who leaves the club 'hanging' in the playoff for promotion to the ACB to get married

On June 17, the Final Four for promotion to the ACB begins and in San Pablo Burgos they rub their hands. The American Justin Kyle Jaworski, the best player of his rival, Guuk Gipuzkoa, will be dropped since that same day, Saturday the 17th, he gets married in the United States. A date that I had reserved for two years.

Jaworski has not only been the absolute star of his team this year since the Pennsylvanian has been the top scorer in the regular phase of the LEB gold and is also the top scorer in the play-off. A capital loss for the most important moment of the season.

Guuk Gipuzkoa has issued a statement explaining the situation. “The potential coincidence between the planned date of the wedding and the dispute of the final promotion phase was known by his American agent before the signing of the contract with Gipuzkoa Basket for the current season materialized.. However, he did not alert the player to this risk at that time and this ended up leading to the rupture of the professional relationship between the two,” they say.

The Gipuzkoans, since they found out about this circumstance, have “strived to find a conciliatory solution, which would avoid the player's absence in the final promotion phase without finally being able to achieve it,” he reported.

Despite the curious situation, “the club thanks Justin Jaworski for his contribution to the good sporting results achieved this season and reaffirms its full confidence in the ability of the coaching staff and the player squad to make up for the absence of the American player with all the ambition and commitment they have demonstrated over the course of the season”.

In the absence of officializing the schedules, Zunder Palencia and UEMC Real Valladolid will play the first semifinal on the afternoon of Saturday the 17th at the Coliseum, while the host Hereda San Pablo Burgos will face Guuk Gipuzkoa in the second one. The final will be played a day later (Sunday 18) in the afternoon.
