Valencia Basket hosts Leyma Coruña for the first time at Fonteta

Valencia Basket men’s team returns home to face Leyma Coruña for the first time as hosts (Saturday 22nd, 18:00h, Fonteta, Movistar+ Deportes) in a Liga Endesa round 24 game.

The team will look to continue its good shape and results following the February competition break, facing a rival that challenged them in the first-leg game in Galicia, with the BKT EuroCup semifinals looming on the competitive horizon.

The team from La Coruña will be the last opponent to visit the Fonteta for the first time in a Liga Endesa game. This brings the total number of different teams that have played in our arena to 50 in the history of the top national competition.

In a matchup between two of the teams that score the most three-pointers in the Liga Endesa, the variety of external threats is the widest in the competition, as the only two teams with five players who score 1.4 or more three-pointers per game face each other. Two of the best three-point shooters in the tournament, Barrueta and Sestina, will meet on the court at Fonteta.

For this game, Valencia Basket will be without the long-term injured Ethan Happ and Sergio De Larrea.

Valencia Basket currently holds the third position in the Liga Endesa with a record of 17-6.
