Aleksander Sekulic's Barça has the measure of Xavi Albert's Valencia (98-94). The blue and garnet team, boosted by the Palau and the decisive three-pointers from Joel Parra –four consecutive ones in the third quarter– signed a hard-fought third consecutive win against a rival that missed Nikola Mirotic, an old acquaintance of the Barça fans.

The Valencian sportswear brand Luanvi was forced to enter bankruptcy proceedings after accumulating a debt of more than 11 million euros. Its business model, based on purchasing materials from China, was disrupted during the pandemic, as was the loss of its CEO and founder, Vicente Tarancón, in the DANA. The Valencian brand, known for having outfitted several First Division football clubs and basketball teams, is facing its worst crisis since its founding.
