Olimpia: Denzel Valentine will make his debut against Trento

The team registered the former Michigan State star and NBA first-round pick on Friday morning

One more time on short rest, it is the 13th game played less than 48 hours the previous EuroLeague one, Olimpia faces Trento, a team already beaten twice during the season but never in Milan. Since the finsh line is getting closer and closer a win is required to get the possible position in the playoffs’ bracket. Olimpia is coming off a big win over Bologna. Trento is transition to a different type of team because of a couple of injuries that will prevent Andrej Grazulis and Mattia Udom from playing in Milan. The game will mark the return in Milan of Paul Biligha and Davide Alviti, two former Olimpia players. Biligha spent in Milan four seasons and was particularly appreciated from the fans. “They are good in transition, so our defense on the ball, on one on one situation will be crucial to contain the three-point shooting and win the game,” assistant coach Mario Fioretti said. Denzel Valentine will make the debut in red. The team registered the former Michigan State star and NBA first-round pick on Friday morning. Now it is time to play. Tip-off time will be at 19:00.
