Hugo González has had a good first season with the Boston Celtics.

The NBA kicks off this week the 2026-27 season with five Spaniards in its ranks. Hugo González will be the first to debut on Tuesday, October 20, at 21:00 hours, with the Boston Celtics against the Detroit Pistons. The forward will seek to gain prominence in Joe Mazzulla's rotation following the departure of Jaylen Brown to Philadelphia.

Aday Mara will start his stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder that same night at 03:30 hours on Wednesday, facing San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama. The Spanish center, NCAA champion with Michigan, has stood out in the preseason and will try to carve out a place for himself despite the competition from Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. His next game will be on Friday, the 23rd, at 03:30 against the Denver Nuggets.

Sergio de Larrea and Santi Aldama will debut with the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, the 22nd, at 02:30 hours against the Houston Rockets. De Larrea has made a great impression during the preseason, while Aldama begins a new chapter after leaving the Memphis Grizzlies. Both will play again on Saturday, the 24th, at 01:00 against the Indiana Pacers.

Baba Miller, one of the positives from the preseason with the Los Angeles Clippers, will debut on Thursday, the 22nd, at 04:30 against Sacramento. He will also have another chance on Saturday, the 24th, at 04:00 in the derby against the Lakers. Hugo González will play again that Saturday at 01:00 against the New York Knicks.
