Hard test for Valencia Basket on the court of a UCAM Murcia in good shape

Valencia Basket closes the round 34 of the Endesa League by visiting the UCAM Murcia’s court (Friday 30, 18:30h, Palacio de los Deportes, Movistar Deportes) in a game that in recent seasons has always been a tough test for the men of Jaume Ponsarnau and that has been synonymous with even matches decided in the last seconds.

 

After securing the ticket to the Playoffs last week with its win against RETAbet Bilbao Basket and on a positive run of three victories in a row, the Taronja squad will try to maintain this good line to speed up its options to continue climbing the ladder in the classification.

 

Fernando San Emeterio, who suffers an acromioclavicular sprain in his right shoulder, will be sidelined for this game while the Serbian Vanja Marinkovic should be activated if coaches want him in the 12-man roster for this game.

 

In a game in which Jaume Ponsarnau will become the fifth coach to reach a hundred games in the Endesa League, Valencia Basket has the memory of the first leg game that he could only break in the final five minutes to end up taking the win by 89- 78. The taronja squad currently occupies the fifth position in the Endesa League with 20-11 in the standings.
