Valencia Basket closes their marathon of games receiving Herbalife Gran Canaria in the Fonteta

Valencia Basket finishes their three-game series in five days receiving Herbalife Gran Canaria at Fonteta (Sunday 29, 18: 30h, # 0) in a rematch of the Endesa Supercup Finals that ended with the achievement of the only national title that was missing in the taronja showcases. Txus Vidorreta's men will try to close a perfect week against a rival with the same balance in the Endesa League as the Valencians, looking for what could be their fifth consecutive win in ten days, after beating Baskonia and Unicaja in their double clash against Spanish teams in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague,

 

The Taronja squad maintains the four absences it has had in the two Euroleague games (Antoine Diot, Fernando San Emeterio, Joan Sastre and Latavious Williams) but the new signing Damjan Rudez will be available. Valencia Basket will try to extend in this match their magnificent streak against this team in the Fonteta, since the Claretian team does not win in Valencia since the 2005-06 season. Although they share the record of 4 wins and a defeat in the standings, Valencia Basket currently occupy the sixth position and the yellow team, the fourth.
