UCAM Murcia today faces the perfect opportunity to finish healing the wound from exactly one week ago, following the painful defeat conceded at the WiZink Center once morest Real Madrid. After getting even for part of that bitter taste on Wednesday, with the victory in the Champions League, the university team returns to the Palacio de los Deportes to resume its good path in the Endesa League once morest Monbus Obradoiro (12:30 p.m., Movistar +). Despite the fact that it was difficult for him to start at home at the beginning of the course, the Murcian pavilion has become his best medicine. There, in his last ACB game, he signed his best performance of the season just a few weeks ago. And that is what those of Sito Alonso will seek to recover, despite the obstacles that have now also been found on the road.
And it is that UCAM will face Moncho Fernández’s team with the loss of Jordan Davis and the doubt until the last minute of point guard Travis Trice. The escort will not be able to participate with the team until next January, following suffering a fibrillar tear in the biceps femoris, while the point guard has barely been able to complete a training session these days following suffering a head injury exercising at the beginning of the week, which He has kept you under observation.
The point guard’s participation will not be decided until moments before the start of a clash that UCAM arrives depleted in the outside game. Diminished, although also hopeful following the image offered once morest Falco Vulcano on Wednesday in the Champions League, where he already had to solve these absences, which join the well-known power forward Ryan Luther. And it is that the irruption of Urban Klavzar in the final stretch of this matched match that Sito Alonso’s men ended up taking, gives the young Slovenian a new opportunity, this time in the ACB, to be able to gain greater prominence in the team while the club combs the market in search of a player who can alleviate the absence of the American during the final stretch of the calendar in 2022.
In front will be a Monbus Obradoiro that, although it has made life difficult for university students on more than one occasion in recent seasons, right now it is not going through a good moment in the standings. Moncho Fernández’s men have gone five consecutive games without winning, so they will seek to take advantage of the difficulties that UCAM will face in the clash to break that losing streak and get some oxygen in the table.
However, the Galician team is also handicapped by the infirmary and will not be able to count on their point guard Leo Westermann either, who is out following suffering a fibrillar microtear in the quadriceps of his right leg.
