Career

After playing in Joventut Badalona's youth setup, Abalde made his debut with the first team in 2013. In that year, Abalde became the MVP of the final of the Nike International Junior Tournament, where Joventut beat Barcelona in the final.[4]

The National Basketball Association released a list noting that Abalde had entered the 2015 NBA draft in late April 2015.[5]

On 17 August 2016, Abalde signed a four-year contract with Valencia Basket, who loaned him one more season to the team from Badalona.[6]

On July 21, 2020, Abalde parted ways with Valencia, after his buyout clause was exercised, and he signed a lucrative five-year deal with EuroLeague powerhouse Real Madrid.[7]

In September 2021, Abalde suffered a quadriceps injury during a game.[8]

In September 2024, Abalde signed a contract extension with Real Madrid. The new contract would keep him on the team until the end of the 2026-2027 season.[9]

In August 2025, Abalde had to leave the LaFamilia training camp ahead of the Eurobasket 2025 after suffering a myofascial tear in the short adductor muscle of his left leg during Spain's match against France.[10]
