Valencia Basket tests their Endesa League streak on the RETAbet Bilbao Basket’s court

Valencia Basket will try to recover sensations in its second away game on the road of the week to visit the RETAbet Bilbao Basket’s court (Sunday 12, 12: 30h, Bilbao Arena, Movistar + dial 193) in a Endesa League week 8 game. After traveling directly from Moscow to Bilbao, the taronja squad had just less than two days in Vizcaya to prepare this game. Belgian point guard Sam Van Rossom, who injured his right ankle at CSKA Moscow’s court on Thursday, is questionable for the game although coach Txus Vidorreta was optimistic that he could help a few minutes.

 

The coach Taronja, who returns for the first time as coach of Valencia Basket to which it was his home, recovers after two Spanish League matches of absence the shooting guard Joan Sastre. Antoine Diot and Latavious Williams remain the only two confirmed casualties for the tomorrow’s game. In a game in which the success in the 3-point shots seems like one of the keys because two of the best teams in this regard will face in the Bilbao Arena, the winner of the meeting will decide in their favor the historical clashes between these two teams in Bilbao. Valencia Basket defends in this game the second position of the Endesa League that occupies thanks to a 6W-1L result in the standings.
