basketball ACB. Khem Birch trains one hundred percent with the team and is already waiting for his debut; Chery will join the Fotis sessions tomorrow
These are quiet days for Basketball Girona, especially in terms of the competition. Since the team played in Andorra last February 10, the Girona players have entered a period of 15 days without any official match. First there was the cup, last weekend, and now the FIBA window, which will delay the return to the ACB by another week. The club perceives this as a great opportunity to change the dynamic, through training and last-minute signings.
Calm to progress
The first to arrive was the Canadian pivot Khem Birch, who landed in Girona at the beginning of February to boost the inside game of Fotis Katsikaris’ team. “The player is already one hundred percent with the dynamics of the team and we will be able to have him for the next match, if everything goes well”, said the Greek coach of the Girona team. This week, apart from the players who have commitments with their national teams -Juani Marcos (Argentina) and Gyorgy Golomán (Hungary) -, Fotis will also not be able to have Maxi Fjellerup, who has discomfort and is doing individual work, apart from the team Currently, there are ten players available for training, including the player from the subsidiary Pau Sala.
The arrival of Chery
In Fontajau they are also waiting for the Canadian point guard Penny Chery, the latest signing, who will join the sessions in Fontajau on Friday morning: “I have spoken to him, he is fit, we will have a week for him to adapt to the game”, said Katsikaris. The player will replace Corey Davis, removed from the team for indiscipline reasons and who continues to train alone on the central court of Fontajau after the team.
However, it will not be the last addition, as Majorcan Michael Caicedo will be the next to join, after the pre-European selections, in the Girona Basketball discipline. The Barça escort needs minutes and will look for them with Katsikaris in Fontajau. It will be an addition that will increase the number of first team cards to 15, counting that Davis remains on the active card. So, Xus Escosa, Marc Gasol and the coaching staff will have to manage an unsustainable situation for the squad. No rush, we’ll have to see who ends up coming out.
