Flexicar Fuenlabrada has finalised the signing of Gran Canaria guard Javi López, who arrives after overcoming a serious knee injury and with experience in Liga Endesa and Eurocup.
Flexicar Fuenlabrada has made a move in the Primera FEB market and has secured the arrival of Javi López, a guard with international experience in youth categories with Spain and a background in European competitions. The 26-year-old player signs for the 2026/27 season and becomes the ideal complement to Mateo Díaz in directing the play for the Madrid team.
From injury to opportunity in Fuenlabrada
Javi López joins Flexicar Fuenlabrada after overcoming a serious knee injury that kept him off the court for much of 2025. His return occurred last February with Cartagena, where he played 13 games and averaged 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 24 minutes per game. These numbers, despite the hiatus, demonstrated that the Canary guard maintained his quality.
The player, who developed in the Gran Canaria youth system, has a career that includes 100 games in Primera FEB, 20 in Liga Endesa, and 14 in Eurocup, a competition in which he debuted with the yellow club. His experience in high-level basketball, combined with his ability to organise play, makes him a luxury addition for a Fuenlabrada team aiming to return to Liga Endesa.
A pair of guards to dream of promotion
With the arrival of Javi López, the coach of Flexicar Fuenlabrada will have a duo of playmakers with complementary profiles. Mateo Díaz, younger and with potential, and the newcomer, with experience and the ability to set the pace, will form one of the most balanced guard pairs in the category. The sports management specifically sought a player who could create advantages for his teammates while also providing defensive solidity.
The Fuenlabrada team, competing in Primera FEB, has been shaping a competitive roster for weeks. The goal, according to club sources, is to fight for top positions and compete for promotion to the highest category of Spanish basketball. Javi López's experience in high-pressure games, both in the regular league and playoffs, will be a valuable asset in crucial moments.
An exciting project for Fuenlabrada fans
The fans of Flexicar Fuenlabrada can look forward to the upcoming season with optimism. The arrival of a player with Javi López's resume signifies a statement of intent. The club wants to be at the top and spares no resources to achieve it. Moreover, the story of the Canary guard's comeback to compete at the highest level after a serious injury adds an emotional component to his signing. Subscribers of the Polideportivo Fernando Martín can already dream of seeing him direct the play with that vision that has characterised him since his beginnings.
Preseason will kick off in the coming weeks, and all signs point to Javi López being one of the standout names in the Fuenlabrada project. The playmaking is secured and the Madrid team is gradually building a squad that promises strong emotions in Primera FEB.
