Valencia Basket seeks to close a perfect week in the visit of UCAM Murcia to the Fonteta

18/01/2020

Valencia Basket returns to the Fonteta after spending five days traveling in Russia, for the first time he has managed to prevail on the courts of the Khimki Moscow Region and the Zenit St.Petersburg. And he does it to face UCAM Murcia (Sunday 19, 20:00h, Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 3) in the game that opens the second leg of the Endesa League.

 

The Taronja squad faces this commitment in a good line of results (three wins in a row), solid at home in the Endesa League (where it has not lost in national competition since November 3) and with the moral push of within a period of one week to get the ticket for the Copa del Rey and sneak into the Playoff positions of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague.

 

To alleviate the accumulated physical fatigue in what will be his fifth game in ten days, the support of the Fonteta will once again be a key element to give extra energy to Jaume Ponsarnau's men.

 

Captain Bojan Dubljevic could return (absent in the two games of Russia for a sprained right ankle and that will be doubtful until the last moment), while center Mike Tobey (right leg only) will stay sidelined. Tobey and Brock Motum are deactivated for the Endesa League, although the Australian power forward could be activated in exchange for another teammate until 2:00 p.m. on Sunday 19. Valencia Basket starts on this round 18 the race for staying in the noble zone of the Endesa League, in which he currently occupies the sixth position with a balance of 9 wins and 8 losses.
