Valencia Basket closes its 3-games week at the court of Herbalife Gran Canaria

Valencia Basket is looking for a good close to a week in which it has fallen in its two Turkish Airlines Euroleague games in a scenario that has not been anything favorable in recent seasons, the court of Herbalife Gran Canaria (Sunday 8, 13:00h, Gran Canaria Arena, Movistar Deportes) in a Endesa League round 23 game. The Taronja squad will try to break its bad streak in Las Palmas (where it has fallen on its last three visits) in a match that puts two of the best defensive teams in the Endesa League face to face. Point-guard Guillem Vives could reach its 200th game in the maximum national competition in a game that could mean the return to the competition of Sam Van Rossom (as long as he is activated before 20:00 today). In fact, coach Jaume Ponsarnau has worked this morning with the 13 players he has available, with Jordan Loyd (fracture due to overload in the scaphoid of the right foot) as the only sidelined player. Valencia Basket currently occupies the sixth position of the Endesa League, with a balance of 12-10.
