Casademont Zaragoza has completed the return of Jilson Bango through the end of the 2026-2027 season. The 6-foot-10 Angolan center, born in 1999, is back with the club to strengthen the interior rotation for the decisive stretch of the Liga Endesa.
A return to reinforce the frontcourt
The agreement brings Bango back into the Zaragoza project in a season where the club is looking to consolidate its place in Spain top league. His physical profile and prior experience in the competition fit the need for rim protection and continuity in the paint.
The move comes as Casademont Zaragoza seeks depth at center to sustain the pace of the ACB schedule and compete with confidence in interior matchups.
Track record and fit in Zaragoza
Bango is not arriving cold: his previous spell with the club should ease his immediate adaptation to the system and to the league competitive environment. At 26, he brings size, rebounding and interior awareness the team can use from day one.
In practice, his return adds a reliable option in the post, especially on a demanding calendar where the starting center minutes shape overall performance.
What it means for the club
With Bango back, Casademont Zaragoza gains a player with Liga Endesa experience and flexibility to manage interior workloads. The deal covers the remainder of the 2026-2027 season, giving the coaching staff another option for the closing stretch of the competition.
The move was reported by Mundo Deportivo — Baloncesto and Piratas del Basket.
