Valencia Basket and Unicaja will face for the first time in the Euroleague at Fonteta

Valencia Basket returns home for the second game of this week’s marathon receiving Unicaja (Friday 27, 21: 00h, Fonteta, # 0) in a match corresponding to the Turkish Airlines Euroleague week 4 and which is a rematch of last season’s 7DAYS EuroCup Finals. After winning a major victory at Baskonia on Wednesday night by 63-80, the Taronja squad maintains the same four absences that had in that match (Antoine Diot, Fernando San Emeterio, Joan Sastre and Latavious Williams) but at least not will lose none of the two players who got hurt in the game in Vitoria.

 

Erick Green was able to finish Wednesday's game after a dislocation in his right hand pinkie in the first quarter and is expected to be able to participate tomorrow, just as Aaron Doornekamp, ​​who took a heavy blow from a huge fall in that same game. The new taronja signing, Damjan Rudez, could not be registered for this game, reason why the young Tryggvi Hlinason and Josep Puerto complete the taronja team. Valencia Basket occupies the fifth place in the table of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague with a 2-1 in its locker.
