Valencia Basket closes the acb Regular Season on the Monbus Obradoiro's court

Valencia Basket closes the Liga Endesa Regular Season visiting the Monbus Obradoiro’s court (Saturday 14, 8:45 p.m., Fontes do Sar, Movistar Deportes 6) in a game in which, with home court advantage for the quarterfinal playoffs already guaranteed, the main incentive will be knowing if the taronja team finishes the Regular Season in third or fourth position.

 

Joan Peñarroya's men will finish third if they win in Santiago or if they lose, but so does Joventut Badalona in Vitoria. And they will be fourth if they lose and the black-and-green team prevails in their game.

 

Center Mike Tobey will be sidelined for this game due to low back pain, so he joins the absences of Martin Hermannsson, with an Achilles tendinopathy in his right leg that will make him miss his third game in a row and the long-term injured Klemen Prepelic

 

This clash will also serve as a tribute to point guard Albert Oliver, who, after announcing his retirement, will play his last professional game on Saturday against Valencia Basket in which he played three seasons, was captain for two seasons and, curiously, was also the same rival against which debuted in 1997.

 

The Taronja team defends the third position of the Endesa League at Fontes do Sar, which it currently occupies, with a balance of 22-11.
