Valencia Basket visits the court of a needy Monbus Obradoiro

Valencia Basket men's team opens a series of three away-games in a row visiting the court of a needy Monbus Obradoiro (Sunday 10, 12:30 p.m., Fontes do Sar, Movistar Deportes) in a acb round 24 game.

 

The Taronja team will try to extend its current good dynamics in national competition (four wins in the last six games) and extend the positive sensations shown at different times in its last continental defeats to more minutes.

 

Although the taronja squad has won in his last three visits to this court, has always done so by suffering a lot to achieve it and without going any further, last year needed an overtime to get the victory in Santiago.

 

It will be a very special game for Canadian guard Kassius Robertson, who will return to Fontes do Sar for the first time after three seasons of experience in the Galician team, with which he was the top scorer in the Endesa League last year.

 

Power forward Nate Reuvers, who has shoulder discomfort, will be sidelined for this game and joins the absence of the long-term injured Boubacar Touré. Serbian point guard Stefan Jovic has traveled in a squad of thirteen players but is questionable due to a sprained ankle that made him miss Thursday's clash against FC Barcelona.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day in seventh position in the acb with a balance of 14-9.
