Professional career
Grimau quickly moved to continue a family legacy in the world of basketball. Like his father before him, and as his two younger siblings who would follow suit, Roger rose to the ranks as a professional basketball player.
At Lleida, he propelled his team to the Liga ACB, Spanish basketball's premier division. He was the undoubted star of a young team which won promotion to the league. As well as being named an all-star in their promotion season, he also earned a move to his next club, FC Barcelona and with it, a call up to the Spanish national team, with whom he won a gold medal at the 2001 Mediterranean Games.
In July 2011, he signed a two-year contract with Bilbao Basket.[1] He rested in the club until September 2014.
In June 2015, Grimau decided to retire from basketball.[2]
Spanish national team
Grimau has also been a member of the Spanish national basketball team. He won the gold medal at the 2001 Mediterranean games, and the silver medal at the EuroBasket 2003.
