BAXI Manresa hosts Reyer Venecia and aims to improve its position.

BAXI Manresa plays its fifth consecutive home game at the Nou Congost. In the 17th round of the EuroCup, they host Umana Reyer Venecia, currently fifth in their group with one less win. Diego Ocampo's team, who welcomed back Dani Pérez in their last league game, are uncertain about the availability of Agustín Ubal.

The Nou Congost crowd will be eager to cheer their team on this Wednesday at 8:45 PM, aiming for their 11th European victory and a move closer to third place, which would secure a spot in the Round of 16. After a hard-fought battle against one of the Liga Endesa's powerhouses, the home team is looking to maintain their competitive edge. Following Dani Pérez's return, Agustín Ubal is a doubt as he recovers from an elbow sprain.

Umana Reyer Venecia boasts a highly experienced coach on the bench: Neven Spahija. The Italians boast a talented roster, featuring veterans of European basketball like Chris Horton, RJ Cole, and Kyle Wiltjer, who has played for Liga Endesa teams. They've won five of their last six games and are clearly on an upward trajectory.

Assistant coach Nacho Juan analyzed the Italians in the pre-game press conference: "Venice is a team coming into this game in great form. They have a high level of physicality and a lot of individual talent, especially in scoring. Despite injuries and difficulties, they're having a great stretch of the season, so we'll need to set a high physical standard from the start. There are three very differentiating players: RJ Cole, the starting point guard, who can do many things; Jordan Parks, very physical, a three-and-a-half-footer; and Kyle Wiltjer, a familiar face who represents the biggest outside threat."
