Valencia Basket back at Roig Arena to face Leyma Coruña
Liga Endesa round 8
Miguel Ángel Polo
Valencia Basket men's team returns to Liga Endesa action at home three weeks after its last domestic game on its own court, welcoming Leyma Coruña to the Roig Arena for the first time (Sunday 15, 12:00 p.m., Roig Arena, DAZN / Movistar+ / Orange / Vodafone TV / TVG) in a game corresponding to Round 9 of the acb season.
The taronja side will look to extend its strong run in domestic competition in a game that marks the beginning of a demanding stretch of five games in ten days before the break for international fixtures. To do so, Valencia Basket will need to maintain its excellent ball security against the team that forces the most turnovers in the league, while also protecting the defensive glass against one of the Liga Endesa's top offensive rebounding teams.
For this challenge, Valencia Basket welcomes back Mo Gueye, who saw some action in Thursday's game, although Nate Reuvers (left foot) and Nikola Mirotic (left adductor) will remain sidelined. One of the team's non-homegrown players will not be eligible for selection in this game, while shooting guard Lucas Marí will be included in the squad.
Valencia Basket currently sits second in the Liga Endesa standings with a 5-2 record.
