Direct clash for first place in the group against Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem

Valencia Basket men’s team returns to La Fonteta for the first time after the international break to face a direct clash in the battle for first place in Group B, as they take on Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem (Wednesday, December 4, 20:45h, La Fonteta, Sports by M+) in a game that concludes the tenth round of the BKT EuroCup.

 

This game will provide another opportunity to raise awareness of the needs of those affected by the DANA storm that devastated our province on October 29, as well as to highlight the ongoing reconstruction efforts and focus on solutions through the "15 matches, 15 initiatives" program.

 

The team will look to continue their strong pace in this competition and their excellent home performances this season against a rival in great shape, who has historically been a dangerous opponent at La Fonteta, winning two of the five previous encounters.

 

Nate Reuvers, Ethan Happ, and Xabi López-Arostegui will definitely be sidelined for this game, while Stefan Jovic has recovered from his left arm muscle injury but has not yet practiced with the team, making him questionable for the roster.

 

Valencia Basket enters this eighth round in first place in Group B with a record of 8-0, with a pending game against 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys at La Fonteta.
