Valencia Basket ends its week of three games by visiting Leyma Coruña for the first time

Valencia Basket men’s team completes another week of three games by visiting the Leyma Coruña court for the first time in its ACB history (Sunday, 5th, 12:30h, Coliseum A Coruña, Movistar+ Deportes) in an Endesa League round 15 game.

 

The team will try to recover energy and positive feelings in this final stretch of a series that now consists of ten games in 27 days, aiming for a victory that would bring them closer to their next goal: securing their status as a top seed for the Copa del Rey, something that doesn't only depend on their result in this round.

 

There are no official precedents of a matchup between these two teams, which are the best in rebounds and assists in the competition, although they faced each other in the preseason, with a Valencian win by 85-108.

 

The Valencia Basket delegation traveled directly to A Coruña with the same thirteen players, with Ethan Happ as the only confirmed absence, while they will wait until Sunday to see if Jean Montero can play, as he has missed the last two games due to a right ankle sprain.

 

Valencia Basket heads into this game in first place in the Endesa League with a record of 11-3.
