Overview
- Match analysis from Vallecas describes a disjointed Mallorca that failed to threaten even with a late numerical advantage, reinforcing concern it is trending toward a relegation fight.
- Captain Antonio Raíllo sustained a clavicle dislocation during the week and will miss several weeks, with Marash Kumbulla poised to step in at center back.
- Mallorca closes the first half of the season on 18 points, a haul comparable to its worst recent stretch and cited as evidence of a downward trajectory.
- Arrasate framed the trip as requiring “eleven warriors,” and afterward emphasized working with the current squad while remaining noncommittal about winter signings.
- Elsewhere, Unicaja won 76-70 at Valencia Basket with 20 points from Chase Audige, and Extremadura drew 1-1 with Real Jaén to make it one win in seven and remain outside the playoff places.
