The long-time NBA player suffered a knee injury in the victorious semifinal match of Liga LEB Oro against Forca Lleida. However, Marc Gasol played through the injury and gifted his hometown club a ticket to the ACB.

Girona defeated Movistar Estudiantes 66-60 in the ultimate game of the second Spanish division.

Gasol was the main man on his team in the final, scoring 11 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, collecting 4 steals, and swatting 2 shots for a PIR of 26.
