Shermadini, cleared after passing medical tests
Giorgi Shermadini has successfully completed all medical tests and is ready to join the preseason of La Laguna Tenerife for the 2026/27 season. The 37-year-old Georgian center has left behind the heart problem that sidelined him since the end of May.
Good news arrives with joy for both Giorgi Shermadini and the Canarian entity. The player has successfully passed all clinical examinations carried out at Hospiten Rambla facilities, enabling him to immediately rejoin the team's training sessions. This positive resolution marks the end of a period of uncertainty that had characterized the conclusion of the past season.
The heart issue that halted his season
The Georgian center had been experiencing cardiac arrhythmias that forced him to be absent from competition since May. This ailment directly impacted his participation: he missed the Liga Endesa playoffs, an absence that significantly affected La Laguna Tenerife in the season's final stretch. At 37 years old, any health setback raises concerns about the continuity of a player with such an extensive career.
However, specialists have confirmed through specific tests conducted that the issue has been completely resolved. Medical results support his full recovery, allowing the Georgian to prepare without limitations for the upcoming season.
A 22nd season ahead
Shermadini is gearing up for his twenty-second season as a professional. At an age when many players have already exited the elite scene, the center demonstrates remarkable resilience. His experience and playing ability in the paint remain valuable assets for any team that has him.
La Laguna Tenerife once again benefits from his physical presence in the scoring zone. The return of the Georgian player represents a significant reinforcement for the Canarians, who will have his expertise in the interior game throughout the preseason and the upcoming season.
Immediate return to training
With medical clearance completed, Shermadini is now ready to start the preseason alongside his teammates. The training sessions before official competition will help the player regain rhythm and synchronization with the team after months of inactivity. La Laguna Tenerife can count on him from the first day of summer preparation.
The club's official statement confirmed that all tests were conducted smoothly and that the player is fully fit to train and compete without medical restrictions. This confirmation is crucial for the Canarian team's sports planning for the new season.
Continuity in the Tenerife project
Shermadini's continued presence in La Laguna Tenerife reinforces the continuity of the sports project. Despite the health challenges faced, the team has maintained confidence in the veteran center, and now the positive medical results validate that decision. His international experience and knowledge of European basketball will remain guiding principles in the Canarian locker room.
With the 2026/27 season already on the horizon, La Laguna Tenerife can approach the preseason with more tranquility. Shermadini's unrestricted inclusion opens up new tactical and strategic possibilities for the Canarian team's coaching staff, who will have all options available from the start of their preparations.
