Kyle Kuric Set for MoraBanc Andorra Return Against Valencia

Kyle Kuric is set to return as the first key addition for MoraBanc Andorra's coach Žan Tabak, with the 36-year-old American forward expected to feature in Sunday's home game against Valencia Basket at Pavelló Toni Martí, starting at 12.30pm.

Club officials express confidence in the former Evansville player's availability despite his current doubtful status. Kuric, who has averaged 13.2 points per game this season—along with 24.18 minutes on court, 51.3% three-point shooting, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 11.5 valuation—missed Tabak's debut against Dreamland Gran Canària due to a hamstring injury and also sat out last weekend's loss to Unicaja Málaga.

The match against Pedro Martínez's Valencia—featuring former Andorra standout Jean Montero—comes before a break for the Copa del Rei and FIBA windows. No further games are scheduled until March 7, when Casademont Zaragoza visits. Officials aim to finalize a sought-after guard signing during this pause to replace injured recent addition Xavier Castañeda, though no deals are advanced.

Castañeda suffered a hamstring tear against Real Madrid on January 11, with a three-month recovery timeline. One month on, his progress remains on schedule, but he will miss several more weeks.

In the first leg this season, Valencia edged MoraBanc Andorra 84-79, with Brancou Badio scoring 22 for the winners and Kuric adding 19 for the hosts. Valencia arrives after an EuroLeague clash with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne.

Meanwhile, the BC MoraBanc B We Singular reserves maintained their 11-game winning streak in Primera Catalana, beating Bàsquet Sant Pere 84-61 and SESE B 78-72 to hold atop their group under Cristian Vegas.
