Despedimos con enorme tristeza a “Piculín” Ortiz.
Formó parte de una época inolvidable del CAI, aquella que llenó de ilusión a toda una generación de aficionados.
Gracias por formar parte de nuestra historia, Piculín.
Descansa en paz.
The NBA mourns the passing of José Ortiz (1963-2026). Selected 15th overall in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz, José played parts of two seasons in the NBA, and played with Puerto Rico in four FIBA World Championships and four Olympic Games. We extend our deepest condolences to the Ortiz family.
