Valencia announced it has reached an agreement with American center Michael Tobey for the remainder of the season.
Tobey, 22, spent most part of the season with the Greensboro Swarm, the Charlotte Hornets D-League affiliate, averaging 12 points and 9 rebounds per game, while signing some 10-day contracts with the Hornets. On Saturday (11/3) he finished a match vs the Windy City Bulls with 23 points and 16 rebounds.
The Spaniards needed to acquire a big guy since Viacheslav Kravtsov’s injury had left them short of frontcourt options and Bojan Dubljevic was the only center in their roster.
This changes now with the arrival of Tobey who is going to make his debut in European basketball with the Spanish team. He isn’t eligible to participate in Eurocup, even if Valencia advances to the Finals.
