Valencia Basket seek their first win in the Endesa League on the difficult court of UCAM Murcia

Valencia Basket will seek its first victory in the Endesa League in the complicated court of UCAM Murcia (Sunday 7, 17:00 hours, Palacio de los Deportes, Movistar Deportes 1), a track in which in recent seasons has managed to get positive results after agonizing ends in which the taronja squad had to suffer to come out with the win. The taronja team will face their third game in six days against a rival who prevailed more than a month ago in a preseason game played in Alcoy for a result of 85-58. However, the physical reality of Valencia Basket has worsened significantly since that game five weeks ago. Captain Rafa Martínez and point guard Antoine Diot are still unavailable. The forward Fernando San Emeterio remains out of the dynamics of the group due to discomfort in the left knee and the pivot Mike Tobey continues with the recovery of the sprain of the joint with sub-dislocation of the right shoulder that he suffered in Malaga. And in addition, the taronja team adds the loss of French power forward Louis Labeyrie for the next ten days due to a distension in the adductor of the left leg that did not let him play the second part of the game against Real Madrid. This game will be number 75 of Aaron Doornekamp in the Endesa League, having played 40 of them with the taronja jersey.
