Valencia Basket closes Regular Season at Morabanc Andorra’s court

23/05/2018

Valencia Basket finishes the Endesa League Regular Season visiting the court of one of the rivals that can play against in the Playoffs, MoraBanc Andorra (Thursday 24, 20:30h, Poliesportiu d'Andorra, Movistar Deportes 2) in a game in the that the taronja team will try to remain as the best defense in the competition. With the fourth place insured and without possibility of changing that classification, Valencia Basket will know at the end of this unified round which is his rival that corresponds to him in the quarter-finals series that will start at Fonteta on Monday, May 28 at 8:30 hours. Herbalife Gran Canaria, Unicaja, MoraBanc Andorra itself and Iberostar Tenerife are the candidates.

 

The big news in the expedition that this morning has set course for Andorra have been point guard Sam Van Rossom and shooting guard Rafa Martínez. The Belgian playmaker is recovered from the ischial injury that made him miss the last two games and will be under the command of Txus Vidorreta. The captain has already joined practices after receiving treatment for his right knee injury, although his presence in tomorrow's game is questionable.

 

Sergi García will debut his status as member of the All-ACB Best Young Players Team in this game, although Bojan Dubljevic will not do so with his presence in the All-ACB Second Team, as the Montenegrin center has remained in Valencia to recover from tendonitis Achillea in the left ankle. Also shooting guard Erick Green is sidelined (hamstring strain left leg), with the already know absences of the injured Pleiss, Williams and Diot.
