Valencia Basket returns to the Roig Arena to host Bàsquet Girona

Valencia Basket men’s team will wrap up a Sunday of back-to-back games at the Roig Arena with their Round 8 Endesa League matchup against Bàsquet Girona (Sunday 23rd, 5:00 p.m., DAZN). The taronja squad will have to recover from the tremendous effort required to secure their EuroLeague victory over Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade and take the court again less than 42 hours later, facing an opponent that has had a full week to prepare for this game and arrives in its best form of the season. To do so, they will once again count on the support of their fans, a combination that has proven infallible so far this season.

Valencia Basket will try to regain its rhythm after Friday’s demanding adjustment, aiming to maintain the strong offensive efficiency they have shown in domestic competition and to test their ability to generate second-chance opportunities against one of the teams that closes out its defensive rebounding the best. This matchup will be the fourth visit of this opponent to our city, with a record that favors the taronja team 2–1.

Coach Pedro Martínez will once again have his fifteen professional players available, although he will have to leave one of his non-EU players out of the lineup due to ACB registration rules. Valencia Basket enters this Endesa League round in first place with a 6–1 record.
