Overview
- Alba confirmed on Tuesday that point guard Martin Hermannsson signed a three-year extension keeping him at the club through the end of the 2028/29 season.
- Sport director Himar Ojeda praised Hermannsson’s form and leadership, saying the player is healthy, in top shape and central to how Alba wants to play.
- Hermannsson averaged about 11.5 points per game last season and was a key contributor to Alba’s recent German championship, boosting the team’s playmaking after Jack Kayil’s likely departure to the NBA.
- The deal follows weeks of negotiations and a social-media teaser from the club, and it arrives while Alba finalizes other roster moves ahead of training camp beginning in mid-August.
- Hermannsson first joined Alba in 2018 and returned from Valencia in 2024; his extension preserves veteran leadership for young teammates and reduces pressure on the club to replace a proven point guard this off-season.
