Coviran Granada Seeks First Win in Asturias Without Rousselle and Durán
The visiting side enters the second matchday of the campaign following a home loss last weekend to Inveready Gipuzkoa Basket. Head coach Arturo Ruiz makes the trip to northern Spain missing guard Jonathan Rousselle and shooting guard Edu Durán. Granada aims to secure their opening win of the league schedule before returning to the Palacio de Deportes for their next fixture.
Alimerka Oviedo Baloncesto Looks to Bounce Back at Home
Alimerka Oviedo Baloncesto also dropped their opening fixture of the season, falling on the road at the Gran Canaria Arena against Cajasiete Gran Canaria. Despite a strong start that put the visitors ahead early, decisive second- and third-quarter deficits of 32–16 and 30–16 proved too steep to overcome. Patrick Smith led the Oviedo squad in the opener with 17 points and a 12 efficiency rating, supported by Sander Hollanders with 9 points alongside Danilo Brnovic, Daniil Shelist, and Brock Wisne, who chipped in 8 points each.
Roster Profiles and Match Officials
Granada’s roster features guards Lluís Costa, Álvaro Fernández, and Jovane Kljajic alongside forwards Mathieu Kamba, Pere Tomàs, and Ibai Hendrickx, plus frontcourt contributors Fallou Niang, Tanner McGrew, Mus Barro, Abathiam, and Andy Van Vliet alongside Greg Parham II. Oviedo counters with a youthful group led by head coach Javier Rodríguez, where guard Felix Terins stands as the oldest player at 28 years old, joined by Zaire Williams, Djiguy Diarra, Francis Nwaokorie, and Jorge Arias. Antonio Manuel Zamora, Rodrigo Palanca, and Pol Guadalajara serve as the match officials.
