Valencia Basket return home to host Zalgiris Kaunas in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague

Valencia Basket opens a final stretch of 2017 in which the taronja squad will play three consecutive home games to face Zalgiris Kaunas (Thursday 21, 20: 45h, Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 2) in a match corresponding to the Turkish Airlines Euroleague round 14. The taronja team will try to break their losing streak in European competition in a match where to the point guard Guillem Vives is questionable, who in the game against Real Madrid suffered from the bursitis that drags on the left ankle.

 

Also Joan Sastre, Antoine Diot, Latavious Williams and Sergi Garcia are in the injured list. The one that can help the team despite the blow on the face that he received in Tuesday's game is the German center Tibor Pleiss. The taronja squad has in its favor the historical precedents (it has always won the Lithuanian teams that have visited the Fonteta) in a match in which the success from the triple is considered as a decisive factor.
