A tough clash awaits Valencia Basket on the court of Turk Telekom Ankara

Valencia Basket men's team kicks off a new week with two away games in a row, starting with a visit to Turk Telekom Ankara (Wednesday, 23rd, 18:30, Ankara Spor Salonu, Movistar Deportes) in a BKT EuroCup round 5 game.

 

This game will be a tough test for the team’s recent good results and their strong offensive performance in the last clashes, as they face one of the best defenses in the tournament and the team with the lowest pace in the competition.

 

The previous encounters are positive for Valencia Basket, who have won in their last two visits to Ankara.

 

In addition to Chris Jones' long-term injury, Jean Montero is also sidelined due to a right shoulder contusion sustained in the game against MoraBanc Andorra. However, Stefan Jovic, who missed the last two games due to personal issues, returned to the team and completed the twelve-player roster for this game.

 

Valencia Basket holds the top position in Group B with a record of 4-0.
