Valencia Basket returns to the Fonteta to face Bàsquet Girona.

Valencia Basket men’s team returns to the Fonteta to face Bàsquet Girona (Saturday 7, 20:45h, Fonteta, Deportes por M+) in a match of the tenth round of the Liga Endesa.

 

This game will again highlight the needs of those affected by the DANA and focus on solutions through the "15 matches, 15 initiatives" campaign.

 

The team from Valencia will aim to extend their strong performances at home this season and showcase their offensive strengths, offensive rebounding, and assist distribution, which has kept them at the top of the standings, against a rival in a poor run of results marked by significant absences, which will no longer affect the visiting team in the Fonteta game.

 

Last season, Girona won both encounters against Valencia Basket, including their first victory over the team as visitors and the win in Fontajau.

 

Nate Reuvers, Ethan Happ, and Xabi López-Arostegui remain sidelined for this game. At the same time, Stefan Jovic could return after being included in the squad for last Wednesday's game, having recovered from a muscle tear in his left arm, although he did not play.

 

Valencia Basket starts this tenth round in second place in the Liga Endesa, with a record of 6-2, and will recover the match against Lenovo Tenerife in the Fonteta next week.
