Valencia Basket returns home to host UCAM Murcia

31/03/2018

Valencia Basket returns home after three consecutive away games to face the UCAM Murcia in a Endesa League round 25 game (Sunday 1, 18:00h, Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 1). The taronja squad will try to extend its excellent dynamic at home in the Endesa League, with 10 wins in a row, against a rival who took the triumph of the Fonteta in his last visit to Valencia. To protect its court, the Valencian team has its good moment of accuracy in the long range shooting and its good defensive moment at Fonteta, where only allowed 67.1 points on average to its opponents in the last seven Endesa League home-games.

 

Coach Txus Vidorreta lost in the Euroleague game in Athens the forward Fernando San Emeterio (injured in the left calf), so the Cantabrian player will be sidelined for tomorrow’s game along with the point guards Guillem Vives (tenosynovitis in the left ankle) and Antoine Diot. Although they lost Friday's game due to physical problems, the centers Bojan Dubljevic (Achilles tendinitis in the left leg) and Latavious Williams (sprained right ankle) have a chance to dress up tomorrow against Murcia. Valencia Basket currently occupies the fourth position of the Endesa League, with a balance of 16-8.
