Hestia Menorca Faces Big Changes Ahead
This Saturday the Menorcan basketball club shared some tough news on its social media. The team is losing several key players who helped them have their best season ever.
Why Keeping the Core Is Tough
Hestia Menorca was riding high after a strong 2025‑26 campaign, finishing near the top of the league. The club’s game director, Fer Zurbriggen, said it’s been “very difficult to have so much impact on the Island in such a short time.” Keeping the architects of that success is proving to be a real challenge.
Departures Announced This Weekend
Argentine Point Guard Leaves
The biggest headline is the exit of the Argentine point guard, an absolute international star and MVP in capital letters. He had only been on the island for a short time after signing with Monbus Obradoiro last summer, but his impact was huge. The club posted:
«Very difficult to have so much impact on the Island in such a short time. An MVP in capital letters or, as he says, what a player.»
Other Confirmed Exits
Alongside the Argentine guard, three more players are confirmed to leave:
- Emmanuel Wembi
- Jaume Lobo
- Spencer Littleson
These four departures join the list of players who will not be part of Hestia Menorca for the 2026‑27 season.
Who’s Staying?
Pol Figueras Returns
The club has managed to renew and recover Catalan point guard Pol Figueras, who will be back for the next campaign.
Kyle Greeley Remains
American forward Kyle Greeley is the only other player already secured on the payroll for the upcoming season.
Looking Forward to 2026‑27
What the Roster Might Look Like
With Pol Figueras and Kyle Greeley locked in, Hestia Menorca will need to rebuild around a core of newcomers and possibly bring back some former talents. The club’s aim is to stay competitive despite the losses, and fans will be watching closely to see how the new squad shapes up.
Conclusion
Hestia Menorca is at a crossroads. The departure of several standout players, especially the Argentine point guard MVP, marks the end of an era. Yet, with Pol Figueras returning and Kyle Greeley still on board, there is a foundation to build on. The coming months will be crucial as the club works to fill the gaps and aim for another strong season in the First FEB.
