Hard test before the EuroCup Finals on the court of MoraBanc Andorra

Valencia Basket opens the Endesa League round 26 with the advanced game on the court of MoraBanc Andorra (Friday 5, 20:45 hours, M.I.Govern Andorra, Movistar Deportes 1) due to the participation of the taronja team in the EuroCup Finals starting from Tuesday, April 9.

 

Before the continental challenge, the team led by Jaume Ponsarnau will try to recover sensations and improve their performance as visitors in the Endesa League (has fallen in three of his last four away-games) in a court in which despite the precedents are balanced, has fallen on their last two visits.

 

The taronja expedition has left this morning towards the Pyrenees with twelve players, without the injured Rafa Martínez (acute low back pain) and Sergi García (coach decision).

 

Bojan Dubljevic and Sam Van Rossom will premiere their status as members of the All-EuroCup teams facing on two other players who have been awarded with this designation as Andrew Albicy and Dylan Ennis. Valencia Basket currently occupies the fifth position of the Endesa League, with a balance of 15 wins and 10 losses.
