Vives played for Joventut at youth level and made his debut with the first team during the 2012-13 season. The following campaign, he won the award for the best young player in the Spanish League, which resulted in Valencia Basket signing him. In his time there, he won a EuroCup title in 2019, a Spanish League title and a Spanish Super Cup. He also played a total 78 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games with Valencia, averaging 4.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists. In 2021, Vives returned to Joventut and, with this contract extension, it looks like he will retire there. "I am very happy about staying here because of the trust that the club has shown towards me," Vives said. "Since I came back, I've felt at home and I experienced again what it is to play with the colors of the club you love. Here, you feel something extra that cannot be explained." Joventut will now face the London Lions in the eighthfinals of the EuroCup in a couple of weeks' time.
