Valencia Basket hosts an improved Delteco GBC at Fonteta

Valencia Basket returns home after having broken his bad dynamic as a visitor with a win in Belgrade and with the intention of re-asserting the home-court advantage against a rival, GBC Delteco, who has never won in the Fonteta (Saturday 24, 20:30 hours, Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 1). The taronja coach Jaume Ponsarnau will face for the first time as head coach to the San Sebastian team since he ended his relationship with the Illumbe team in season 15-16, which was his last experience as head coach before returning to be in Valencia this campaign.

 

In a game in which Rafa Martínez can play his first minutes of the Endesa League in the Fonteta after recovering from knee surgery, Valencia Basket will once again count on the absences of the point-guard Antoine Diot (which continues with its gradual incorporation into the practices with the first team after overcoming the muscular problems with the French player had started the season) and the shooting guard Joan Sastre (back). In this same game, Sam Van Rossom can become the tenth player in history to reach the 2,000 points scored with Valencia Basket and Bojan Dubljevic will have a tough duel against his compatriot Blagota Sekulic before they both join the national team's concentration of Montenegro. Valencia Basket currently occupies the tenth position in the Endesa League with a record of four wins and five defeats.
