Top-level clash vs. KIROLBET Baskonia to finish the Regular Season

Valencia Basket closes the Endesa League Regular Season with a game vs. KIROLBET Baskonia (Sunday 26, 12:30 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 3) that face two seeded teams for the Playoffs that begins on Friday for the taronja squad. With fourth place as a fixed position and with the series against Unicaja on the horizon, the team led by Jaume Ponsarnau will try to maintain a positive streak in their confrontations against this rival, which has won in the last seven visits from Baskonia to La Fonteta in the Endesa League.

 

A taronja win would balance the precedents in Valencia and eliminate the Vitoria team from the list of rivals who present a positive balance in the Fonteta. To find that new victory, the taronja team keeps the absences of Matt Thomas (surgery on the right quadriceps) and Mike Tobey (left shoulder subluxation), although the coach Ponsarnau left a small door open to the center could play because It has already been partially incorporated into practices. Valencia Basket comes to this game with a balance of 22-11 (13-3 in La Fonteta).
