Valencia Basket closes 2022 on the court of an improved EA7 Emporio Armani Milan

Valencia Basket will face its last game of the year 2022 with its second away-game of the week visiting the EA7 Emporio Armani Milan’s court (Thursday 29, 8:30 p.m., Mediolanum Forum, DAZN/Movistar+ dial 65) in a game corresponding to round 16 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.

 

After ending their recent good dynamics with a defeat in the Endesa League on the Gran Canaria’s court, the Taronja squad will seek to recover feelings, especially defensively, in a duel that is quite a clash of styles: Valencia Basket is one of the teams in the tournament who wants to play with more rhythm while the Italian team is one of the teams that plays with the fewest possessions and the one that scores the least, but also the one that receives the fewest points.

 

With the precedents balanced against this rival with two wins for each team, the taronja team will try to unbalance the historical record in their favor on a court, the Medionalum Forum, where they have never been able to knock this team down.

 

Regarding Tuesday's game, coach Álex Mumbrú will lose the participation of point guard Chris Jones, who will stay in Valencia to receive treatment on his right knee, and has travelled with the twelve players available to Milan. In addition to Jones, long-term injured Sam Van Rossom (operated on his right knee), Millán Jiménez (operated on his left ankle) and Martin Hermannsson still sidelined.

 

Valencia Basket begins this round located in the 11th position with a balance of 7-8.
