Argentine forward Nico Brussino is departing Dreamland Gran Canaria after five seasons, the Spanish club officially announced Saturday. Brussino and the club reached an agreement for the transfer of his federative and sporting rights, meaning he will not be part of the team in the upcoming Primera FEB season, to which the club was relegated after 31 years in Spain's top basketball division.

Gran Canaria expressed gratitude to Brussino for his "work, effort, and dedication" over 292 games, wishing him "the best of luck in his personal and professional future." Brussino was a key figure in the club's successes over the past five years, including their 2023 EuroCup victory, and became a fan favorite.
