The race
A particularly one-sided game took place in Spain between Valencia and Alba Berlin, with both teams close to the score and the hosts leading by two points at half-time (41:39). The main protagonist of the team from the Iberian Peninsula’s offensive actions was Semi Ojeleghe, while Matt Thomas and Luis Olidi provided the goal solutions for the Germans. Both teams shot well from the perimeter in the first half, although their accuracy inside the three-point line was not the same.
The pace in the third period wasn’t particularly high, the two teams kept pace and exchanged the lead one after the other. Accuracy rates fluctuated at low levels and so did scores. In the fourth quarter, however, Valencia prevailed and, with Semi Ojeleghe as the protagonist, accelerated and celebrated its fifth win of the tournament (79-71).

Jokic may lose his chance to compete for NBA MVP award
Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to left knee hyperextension.
The Serb is expected to miss all 18 matches in January and his maximum appearances this season could be limited to 64 matches. So Jokic will lose the opportunity to compete for the NBA’s main prizes – MVP and inclusion in the All-NBA, as this requires playing at least 65 games in the regular season.
Theoretically, he could return for the January 31 game against the Brooklyn Nets, which would give Nikola the opportunity to play 65 games before the end of the season, but that scenario is unlikely.
Jokic was injured in the last seconds of the first half of the match against Miami Heat (123:147) and did not return to the field after a long break. Before his injury, he managed to score 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.
