Pau Ribas will be able to play again this season: the ARA Instant Replay

BarcelonaBittersweet afternoon in Badalona. Joventut beat Valencia Basket, but Pau Ribas will probably miss the rest of the season. The green-and-black player appeared at the Olympic Palace on crutches after it was confirmed that he is suffering from a grade three sprain to the ligaments in his left ankle. “He is an irreplaceable player and we will have to reinvent ourselves,” lamented Carles Duran.

Defeats before the classic

Barça did not take advantage of Saturday’s defeat by Real Madrid and lost at Surne Bilbao Basket. Eight points from Nikola Radicevic in the last 50 seconds ended the options of a Blaugrana team that was dying. The casualties of Tomás Satoransky and Nikola Kalinic limited the rotation of a team that closed a negative week with two defeats.

Popcorn to celebrate 100 points

Baxi Manresa lost on the track to a Cazoo Baskonia who took advantage of the punctures of Madrid and Barça to place themselves as the leader of the classification. The Bagen team played a good game again, but could not surprise on one of the most difficult tracks. In NBA style, the home fans celebrated the Basque side reaching 100 points by receiving free popcorn.

A team that trains better than it plays

Básquet Girona beat Carplus Fuenlabrada and has already accumulated nine victories, but Aíto García Reneses remains concerned because the team trains better than how it plays. “Thursday’s session, for example, was much more complete, since during the matches we are too irregular. We must transfer this level from the training sessions to the matches. We must not make lucubrations”, says the coach.
