The Valencia Basket vs. Zaragoza ACB game postponed due to the Euroliga Game 5

The Game 5 of the EuroLeague Playoffs between Valencia Basket and Panathinaikos has already had direct consequences on the Liga Endesa schedule. The decisive fifth game of the series has led to the postponement of the match that was supposed to pit the Valencia team against Casademont Zaragoza in matchday 31 of the domestic championship. At the moment, the ACB has not confirmed the new date for the rescheduled game.

The team led by Pedro Martínez faces days of maximum competitive demand. Before traveling to face the Greek team in the deciding match of the European series, Valencia still has to tackle an important league clash against Baskonia this Sunday. However, the club's priority is clearly focused on the continental challenge, as the showdown against Panathinaikos will determine which team secures a spot in the Athens Final Four.

The series between the Spanish and Greek teams has been marked by equality and competitive tension, leading to the need for a fifth game to determine who advances to the final phase of the top European competition. Faced with such physical and mental demands, the postponement of the league match allows Valencia Basket to regroup efforts and prepare with more leeway for a historic encounter for the club.

ACB Statement

The ACB itself confirmed the decision through an official statement. In it, the league explained that the match between Casademont Zaragoza and Valencia Basket, originally scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, is postponed due to overlapping with the fifth game of the EuroLeague Playoffs. The national competition will soon announce the final date for the makeup game corresponding to matchday 31.
