By press office - in
One day after returning from Mexico, where the second phase of the League of the Americas was played, Flamengo heads to Belo Horizonte (MG) on Tuesday (08.02/09.02) to defend its leadership of the NBB (New Basketball Brazil). The red-black team faces Minas on Wednesday (20/30) at XNUMX:XNUMX pm at Minas Tênis Clube.
With nine wins in 12 games and a 75% success rate, Rubro-negro returned to the top of the table after Brasília's defeat (which dropped to third place) to Limeira, in the last round, on 06.02. Minas is in eighth place, with eight wins in 15 games, but is riding high after a hard-fought victory over Franca by 89 x 85.
Flamengo will still be without forward/center Jefferson, who is recovering from an adductor injury in his right thigh. He will initially be sidelined until the 13th, when he will undergo another MRI. On the other hand, the team will have the return of Marcelinho, who missed the last Liga de las Américas game due to a severe stiff neck. The Flamengo forward/guard is the top scorer in the NBB, according to the tournament's official statistics, with 355 points (an average of 29,5 per game).
In Veracruz, Mexico, Flamengo suffered three defeats (to Halcones Rojos-MEX; Peñaro-ARG; and Capitanes de Arecibo-PUR) and said goodbye to the dream of a first-ever Liga de las Américas title. For the first time in its history, the team reached the second round of the competition.
