Alisia Jenkins, presented as a new Taronja player at Maxcolchón

Power forward Alisia Jenkins (1.85m, USA, February 21, 1994, age 32) was introduced as a new player for Valencia Basket on a temporary basis—initially through November—at a ceremony held today at Maxcolchón’s headquarters in Náquera. The sponsor has renewed its partnership for two more seasons, through the 2027–28 season, marking its seventh consecutive season partnering with the club.

The experienced big woman comes from Maccabi Karmiel, where she averaged 18 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal per game in the Israeli league. The player spent several years competing in Israel, though she has also played for European teams such as BLMA, where she competed in the Eurocup Women during the 23-24 season, averaging 10.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and a 16.7 efficiency rating per game.

In her first remarks, the new player said, “Thank you to Valencia Basket for the opportunity to be here. And thank you to Maxcolchón for the sponsorship and all the support. I’m very excited about this season. I want to help my team win, and I’m ready to compete.”
