Sergi Martínez Costa (Rubí, 10/05/1999) signs a two-season contract extension with Bàsquet Girona until 2027/2028. Martínez joined Bàsquet Girona on loan in the 2023/24 season, where he plays as a winger and power forward. He has played 86 games in the ACB with the Girona team, out of a total of 169. This season, the player is averaging 7.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in the 27 games he has played, with an average rating of 8.9.
With this renewal, Bàsquet Girona ensures the continuity of one of the pillars of the locker room and a reference on and off the court. The club thus reinforces its commitment to a sports project based on continuity, leadership and talent. The club celebrates the renewal of its captain, a key piece in the consolidation of Bàsquet Girona in the ACB.
His best game in terms of rating this season was in Fontajau against La Laguna Tenerife, where he achieved 20 points, 7 rebounds and a rating of 27.
Martínez has been an international with the Spanish national team in the U-16, U-17, U-18, U-20 and senior categories. His first call-up to the senior team came in June 2021, in the preparatory matches for the Tokyo Olympics. He made his debut against Iran and played again days later against the same opponent. In this last FIBA window he was called up and played in both matches against Ukraine; in the second, he achieved 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in 18 minutes.
His achievements with the youth teams include bronze at the 2014 European Championship in Latvia with the U-16 team, silver at the 2017 European Championship in Slovakia with the U-18 team, and silver at the 2019 European Championship in Israel with the U-20 team.
At the 2016 U-17 World Championship, held in Zaragoza, he was included in the tournament’s Ideal Five, with Spain finishing in fourth place. Sergi Martínez led the team in several statistics, finishing fourth in points per game and second in rebounds in the entire championship.
Statements from Fernando San Emeterio, sports director: “We are happy with the renewal of Sergi Martínez because, since he arrived in Girona, he has identified a lot with the club and the city. For us, he also exemplifies many of the values we want within the team. He spares no effort on the court, puts the interests of the team before his personal ones, and is the cohesive player that every team must have so that everything around him works. In addition, I believe that he is evolving positively in aspects of the game he is working on, and that his ceiling is still to be reached.”
