Valencia Basket seeks to change the dynamics in the first visit of Bàsquet Girona to La Fonteta

Valencia Basket returns to La Fonteta after three away games in a row to, with the support of its fans, try to break a losing streak that is already three consecutive defeats in the Endesa League in a game on round 11 of the national competition that will mean the first time the taronja squad host Bàsquet Girona (Sunday 11, 12:30 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar+ Deportes 2).

 

After a hard travel and a tough defeat at the Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv’s court in the weekly Euroleague game, Álex Mumbrú's men need the extra boost that La Fonteta can give them to try to recover sensations and change the negative dynamics of results and improve their performance at home after chaining three losses in a row at home.

 

Although it is the first time that this young team, created in 2014 and promoted last summer to the highest category of Spanish basketball, visits our court, a team from Girona will play again at La Fonteta almost 15 years later. On that visit from Akasvayu in January 2008, Víctor Claver was at Valencia Basket, Marc Gasol went up to 44 index for the Catalan team and Fernando San Emeterio, now a Taronja assistant, was also key to the away victory.

 

In the physical section, Chris Jones continues with the recovery process from the arthritis in his right knee joint that has caused him to miss the last two games and Sam Van Rossom (recently operated on his right knee), Millán Jiménez (left ankle) and Martin Hermannsson will be sidelined.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day located in the 12th position with a balance of 4-6.
