Valencia Basket defends the fourth spot in its visit to the court of Herbalife Gran Canaria

Valencia Basket opens a streak of two complicated consecutive away games in the Endesa League before the EuroCup Finals visiting the Herbalife Gran Canaria’s court (Saturday 30, 20:30h, Fonteta, Movistar Deportes) in a round 26 game of the national championship. The taronja team has traveled this morning to the Canary Islands with its twelve available players with the absences in the call of the point-guard Guillem Vives (right aductor overload) and the shooting-guard Joan Sastre, with which has been decided not to risk despite the fact that has begun to join the practice after missing the previous two games by a sprain in the right shoulder.

 

The men of Jaume Ponsarnau will try to take revenge of his last visit to the Gran Canaria Arena (in which they lost squarely in the second game of the Endesa League quarterfinal playoff) and unbalanced in his favor a balance that in the games of this decade in Las Palmas is tied at five wins for each team. Valencia Basket arrives with the intention of defending the fourth position of the Endesa League that currently occupies, with a balance of 15 wins and 9 defeats.
