The Spanish club want their Sunday game against Baskonia to be postponed due to the upcoming Game 5 against Panathinaikos for the EuroLeague, or else they will not use their senior roster<\/p>\n By Aris Barkas\/ barkas@eurohoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking to \u201cEl Partidazo de COPE,\u201d Valencia<\/a> CEO Enric Carbonell stated that the club has asked the Spanish ACB to postpone the upcoming game against Baskonia<\/a> to help the team prepare for Game 5 of the EuroLeague against Panathinaikos<\/a>.<\/p>\n If that\u2019s not the case, then Valencia<\/a> is expected to use their junior team on Sunday in the Spanish league game.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they can\u2019t reschedule the game, will you play with the U23 team?\u201d the executive was asked, and he confirmed the strategy: \u201cValencia Basket won\u2019t field all their first-team players for that game, because it\u2019s obvious that Wednesday\u2019s game is very important\u201d. <\/p>\n The club is currently \u201cin talks with the ACB to see if there\u2019s an option to move one or both of the two games .\u201d On Thursday, the day after the decisive Euroleague match, they are also scheduled to play Casademont Zaragoza in the ACB.<\/p>\n Despite Spain having a major presence in the EuroLeague, the Spanish domestic league notoriously doesn\u2019t change its schedule to accommodate the EuroLeague clubs if needed, due to their obligations in the top European clubs competition.<\/p>\n This is not the case in other major leagues around Europe, like Greece and Turkey. On the contrary, due to the EuroLeague playoffs, the Greek league playoffs have been delayed to accommodate Olympiacos<\/a>, Panathinaikos<\/a>, and BCL title contender AEK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-05-09T10:48:45+00:00 2026-05-09T10:48:45+00:00 2026-05-09T10:48:45+00:00.
