Valencia Basket opens the Liga Endesa Final Round facing MoraBanc Andorra

Valencia Basket begins its participation in the Liga Endesa Final Round that begins today at the Fonteta facing MoraBanc Andorra in what will be the first game of group B (Thursday 18, 15:30, #Vamos). This match will mean the return of basketball to the Taronja fief 105 days after the clash vs. AX Armani Milan on March 5. As in that game, the men of Jaume Ponsarnau will not be able to count on the support of their fans when they play the entire event behind closed doors. In fact, the curious circumstance will arise that Valencia Basket will be a visitor in tomorrow's game despite being played at the Fonteta.

 

The Taronja squad will have all its roster available except the injured Guillem Vives, who has not been concentrated with the rest of his teammates and will be sidelined for this final tournament due to a fracture in the first finger of his left hand. Jordan Loyd, already recovered from his injury, could return to compete (he played his last game on January 19) if he is activated, although the final group for twelve players for this game will not be known until tomorrow.

 

The game will also be the first confrontation between the Colom brothers since Quino returned to Spain to put on the taronja jersey, since on the first day of the League (which ended with a Valencia win by 89-68), our point-guard could not participate. Valencia Basket stayed in seventh position when the league break came, with a balance of 12-11.
