Valencia Basket wants to consolidate its improvement on the complicated Casademont Zaragoza court

Valencia Basket men's team will face its first away game in the Endesa League in 2024 to visit the always hard Casademont Zaragoza court (Sunday the 21st, 5:00 p.m., Príncipe Felipe, Movistar Deportes 2) in a acb round 19 game.

 

After chaining two wins in La Fonteta against Río Breogán and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, the Taronja team will try to translate this change in dynamics also as a visitor at the beginning of a stretch of games in which they will play five of their next six games away from home.

 

Although the precedents on this court are positive for the Taronja team by 5 to 9, last season Valencia Basket's winning streak was broken at Príncipe Felipe.

 

With the doubt about the participation of Serbian point guard Stefan Jovic, who missed Friday's Euroleague game due to back discomfort, coach Álex Mumbrú will have the rest of his squad at his disposal including captain Víctor Claver, who could have in Zaragoza his first minutes after the injury after completing a week of work with the group.

 

In any case, three of the non-local raised players (one of them necessarily one of the non-EU players) will have to be left off the list due to the ACB's quota regulations.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day in fifth position in the acb with a balance of 11-7.
