Valencia Basket seeks to become strong at home to change its dynamics against UCAM Murcia

15/10/2022

Valencia Basket returns to La Fonteta less than 44 hours after its defeat in European competition seeking to become stronger at home to change a negative dynamic that has led it to chain three losses in a Liga Endesa round 4 hosting UCAM Murcia (Sunday 16, 6:30 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes) in what will be the second stage of a straight line of five games in ten days.

 

Álex Mumbrú's men will have to turn the page and recover as physically and mentally as possible to face a tough challenge against a dangerous rival who took the win at La Fonteta last season and who have won in Valencia on four of their last ten visits.

 

In a match with many important aspects, the fight under the boards seems to be a fundamental element as two of the teams with the best rebounds in the Endesa League find themselves on the Fonteta boards.

 

In the absence of two training sessions before the game, coach Álex Mumbrú has thirteen players available, so just before the game coach will decide whether to keep former Murcian team player James Webb III out of the final roster or whether to deactivate the one of the other two non-UE players.

 

Millán Jiménez (left ankle) and the long-term injured Martin Hermannsson remain sidelined due to physical problems. Valencia Basket begins this round 4 located in the eighth position with a 2-1 in its standings.
