Valencia announced the departure of Ethan Happ on Monday.
The 29-year-old forward/center is now a free agent, following a long spell on the injury list due to a foot injury.
Per the press release: “American center with North Macedonia passport Ethan Happ (2.08m, Milan (Illinois), 05/07/1996, 29 years old) has parted ways with Valencia Basket following the termination of the contract that linked both sides until June 30, 2026.
The player joined our team from Dreamland Gran Canaria in the summer of 2024 and was only able to take part in ten games between the Liga Endesa and the BKT EuroCup wearing the orange jersey until the end of October 2024. From that moment on, he has been sidelined due to a foot injury, and the final phase of his recovery took place away from Valencia, where he has not returned.
The Club would like to thank Happ for his professionalism and the work he carried out during his time defending the colors of Valencia Basket, and wishes him all the best in his future, both professionally and personally.”
Before joining Valencia in 2024, Happ made his way to one Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game with Olympiacos in 2019, fresh off the end of his NCAA career with Wisconsin. He moved on displaying his talents in Italy and Germany, before switching to Spain in 2022 and joining Rio Breogan. Dreamland Gran Canaria was his home in the 2023-24 campaign. Beyond the club level, he represented North Macedonia, earning two caps in the EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers.
