Valencia Basket seeks to recover feelings on the court of Surne Bilbao Basket

08/10/2022

Valencia Basket will try to recover feelings and extend its good start in the Liga Endesa in its visit to the Surne Bilbao Basket’s court (Sunday 9, 5:00 p.m., Bilbao Arena, Movistar Deportes) in a acb round 3 game which will be very special for the taronja coach.

 

 Álex Mumbrú will return for the first time as a visitor to a court where his number is retired and which was his home for 13 seasons between the last stage of his playing career and his first experience on the bench.

 

After starting the competition with two wins in Seville and against Joventut Badalona, ​​the Taronja team will try to recover the signs of identity that have led them to be the second most valued team in the competition so far (105.5) and that they lead the Endesa League in offensive rebounds (15.5) and fouls received (25).

 

On an afternoon in which Víctor Claver can play his 200th game in the Endesa League with the taronja jersey, the balance of clashes between these two teams in Bilbao will lean towards one of the two sides, since it is currently tied with ten wins for each side.

 

Millán Jiménez (left ankle) and long-term injured Martin Hermannsson still sidelined. The other 13 available players have headed to Bilbao this morning where they will hold one last practice on the Bilbao Arena.

 

On the eve of the match, will be decided whether to keep James Webb III's file inactive or if a change is made that would force another of the non-EU players to leave the 12-man list. Valencia Basket faces this game in fifth position in the Endesa League, with a balance of 2-0.
