BAXI Manresa visits UCAM Murcia's court
The Bages team travels from Lithuania without passing through Manresa and faces matchday 6 with doubts about Alfonso Plummer and Louis Olinde, who have traveled but are readjusting to the team's dynamics.
BAXI Manresa plays its sixth Liga Endesa game in Murcia against UCAM Murcia, a team that has had a great start and has two familiar faces to Manresa fans on its roster. Olinde and Plummer join the Manresa squad, although their fitness is not yet guaranteed.
BAXI Manresa continues its road trip. The team is now in Murcia preparing for Saturday's game at 6:00 PM. Diego Ocampo's men are looking to improve on Wednesday's game in Klaipeda, where they lost 100-87. Louis Olinde and Alfonso Plummer, who were recovering in Manresa, will join the Manresa squad. The team aims to maintain a high level of play in the Liga Endesa and fight for the win against a team that is having a great start to the season.
UCAM Murcia, for its part, has only lost one game, away to Tenerife. Sito Alonso's team has defeated Andorra, Girona, Baskonia, and Barça (the latter at the Palau Blaugrana) and is off to a very promising start to the season. The team, coached by Sito Alonso, has added seven new players this season, four of whom are forwards. Emanuel Cate and Dani Garcia are on the university team, but at the start of the season, point guard David DeJulius (14.8 points, 4 assists) and center Davontae Cacok (10.6 points, 4.8 rebounds) are standing out above their teammates.
Diego Ocampo spoke to the media from Murcia, saying in his pre-game remarks that "UCAM Murcia has new players, but they also have players who know the league very well, and I'm sure they've done a great job with their coach adapting the new signings; they have talent on the court, and it's showing; their fighting spirit, desire, and rebounding intelligence will be key to deciding the game."
