The operation, which should be the last if there are no major complications, was carried out successfully. The center now begins the final stage of his recovery before returning to action. As Casademont reported, his progress over the coming weeks will determine the recovery timeline, so there is still no specific date for his return to the court.
In fact, the club has no intention of rushing the process. Casademont wants Bango to complete every stage of his recovery and for his knee to be fully healed before considering his return to competition. The priority is for the center to return in the best possible condition and without taking unnecessary risks, allowing him to once again perform as the dominant center he showed he could be during his first spell in Zaragoza.
HIS RETURN TO ZARAGOZA
Bango returned to Zaragoza this summer to become the 12th player on Gonzalo García de Vitoria’s roster after impressing the Marea Roja during the first half of the 2024-2025 season. However, his return to the team’s routine will have to wait while he completes the recovery of a left knee that had already forced him to miss virtually the entire previous campaign.
The Angolan is therefore facing a process without haste, with the aim of once again becoming the dominant player he glimpsed during his previous spell at Casademont. Before leaving the Aragonese club for Fenerbahce in February 2025, Bango was one of the Liga Endesa’s biggest sensations, averaging 13.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 dunks per game, along with an average rating of 16.1.
