Valencia Basket opens its marathon of games at La Fonteta hosting Unicaja

Valencia Basket begins a streak of three games in a row at La Fonteta in a five-day tour hosting Unicaja (Sunday 11, 8:00 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes) in a game corresponding to round 5 of the Endesa League that will be sponsored by Oscar Mayer. The game will be played without an audience due to the restrictions imposed by the CSD that prevent the games in this competition from having fans in the stands.

 

The taronja squad will try to return to the path of triumph in national competition driven by the good feelings of their victory on the Real Madrid court in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague against a dangerous rival, who has won in two of their last three visits to the Fonteta and that in the last precedent, the Green team won emphatically on the Valencian court. Despite this, the recent balance in the Fonteta is favorable to the Taronja team (10-3 in the last six seasons).

 

The Valencian forward Josep Puerto may be the great novelty of the final roster after being recovered this week from his loan at TAU ​​Castelló. Vanja Marinkovic, already recovered from his acute low back pain, will need to be activated in the Endesa League to play this game, which would imply canceling another non-JFL player. The only confirmed sidelined will be Joan Sastre, who was injured for a long time in his right knee. Valencia Basket currently occupies the eighth position, with a balance of 2-2.
