Valencia Basket team news: Status out: According to reports, Mike Tobey hasn’t travelled with the team to Moscow for this game due to an injury and will surely miss this game. Status Questionable: Maurice Ndour missed the weekend game in Spanish League due to an injury and is questionable for Round 21, while Jordan Loyd is also a doubt with an ankle injury. Note: Bojan Dubljevic sat out the last match in EuroLeague, but returned to action last weekend in the Spanish League. So he should be fine to play here.
