Napoli Basketball Prepares with Focus on Venezia Game

Napoli Basketball will face Umana Reyer Venezia at Alcott Arena on Sunday in the sixth round of the LBA. The game will tip off at 12:00.

Napoli are coming off away wins at Tortona and Klaipeda in the fifth round of the Eurocup. Venezia are fourth with 6 points from 3 wins and 2 losses. Last week, Venezia lost to Treviso in overtime, and in the Eurocup they narrowly lost away to Tenerife.

Napoli General Manager James Laughlin said that all teams are dealing with fatigue and injuries at this point of the season. He said the club aims to recover before the FIBA break. According to Laughlin, Venezia's well-organized structure has been in place for many years. Napoli have won only one of their last eleven meetings.

The squad also includes former players. Jordan Parks, Erik Green and Giovanni De Nicolao wear the Venezia jersey. Napoli center Leonardo Totè came through the Reyer youth system. Tickets are on sale through Vivaticket and at the box office, which opens tomorrow at 10:30. The game can be watched live on LBA TV.
