Valencia Basket focuses on the Endesa League visiting Covirán Granada's court

Valencia Basket men's team puts all its attention on the final stretch of the Endesa League Regular Season, starting with the game that will take them to visit the Covirán Granada’s court (Sunday 14, 6:30 p.m., Palacio de los Deportes de Granada, Movistar Deportes) in Endesa League round 29 game.

 

Despite the distribution of minutes in the farewell of the Euroleague on the Partizan court, wear and tear will be an element to take into account when facing this game less than 44 hours after the Belgrade clash against a rival that needs to become stronger in home to move away from relegation positions.

 

In this sense, the good news is that Xavi Albert has fourteen players in Granada and could recover players. Center Alpha Kaba has joined the team in Andalusia and is available to play his first away game with the taronja jersey. The two players who rested on Friday due to physical discomfort, Damien Inglis and Stefan Jovic, will be tested in the previous sessions to see their availability. Boubacar Touré and Kevin Pangos still sidelined.

 

Although it won forcefully in its first and only visit so far to the Fundación CB Granada court and has a positive balance in its acb games in this city, the taronja team faces a rival that it has not been able to beat this year neither in the preseason (66-75) nor in the first leg game (75-81).

 

Valencia Basket begins this day in seventh position in the Endesa League with a balance of 17-11.
