Valencia Basket visits the demanding court of Casademont Zaragoza

Valencia Basket visits the Casademont Zaragoza’s court in a game corresponding to the Endesa League round 4 (Saturday 2, 8:45 p.m., Príncipe Felipe, Movistar Deportes) in a game that will be full with reunions and crossed paths and that will be the first time that the Taronja squad face in an official game their former coach for the three previous seasons, Jaume Ponsarnau.

 

Joan Peñarroya's men will try to extend their good dynamics on this court (they have won in their last six visits) to try to balance their standings in the Endesa League on an afternoon in which Bojan Dubljevic will jump to the court ten points away from surpass Rafa Martínez and become the top scorer for Valencia Basket in the acb.

 

The Taronja coach recovers Cuban Jasiel Rivero for this game, who will debut with Valencia Basket in official commitment, and will have eight players from the pro roster available for this game, with Labeyrie in the group despite missing some sessions of this week's workout. The youngsters of the LEB Plata team Ferrando, Jiménez, Bressan and Bellver will complete the 12-man list due to the confirmed sidelined players Sam Van Rossom, Mike Tobey, Klemen Prepelic, and Xabi López-Arostegui. Valencia Basket occupies the eleventh position of the Endesa League with a balance of 1-2.
