He takes the place of the injured Jordan Davis, who is out for a month and a half, and signs for the rest of the season
Injuries force UCAM to go to market. Again. It happened when James Anderson fell in early October and Niels Giffey arrived, also when Ryan Luther was injured less than a month ago, this time unsuccessfully, and now Jordan Davis’ torn biceps femoris in left leg forces Alejandro Gómez to return to the market, this time to the corridor of the bases and escorts. And this time the UCAM will find what it was looking for.
So, barring a surprise, the UCAM will announce the recruitment of a new player in the coming week. There are several options college students have on the table for the qualities demanded: versatility to occupy the point guard and guard positions, specialty in defensive duties, and a physical plus. That is, what Jordan Davis did. And, of course, that it’s not outside the community. Among the possibilities used by UCAM, the arrival of a player with a community passport is not excluded, although it is very likely a local training quota. This is: a player formed in Spain.
A layoff that comes with a contract until the end of the season, not just for the time Davis is injured, which will be up to a month and a half, and will consider various court facilities for both parties in the event that the player becomes more attractive given chances, as was the case with Niels Giffey (nowadays a Bayern Munich player from his native Germany and a Euroleague team), or that the club is not convinced of his performance.
Jordan Davis was injured this week, as was his teammate Travis Trice, but while Sito would not give any clues, saying “I’m not counting on him basically”, there is a chance he will dress short against Obradoiro tomorrow, when there are six days have passed since his severe blow to the head.
While Gómez intended to return from the ‘FIBA windows’ with a power forward to cover the loss of Luther and join Radovic in a position to which Anderson has risen, the market did not offer UCAM the desired player, one of a profile requested by several teams in the Endesa League. Given Davis’ injury and the confidence placed in Anderson, UCAM cancels this quest. “I trust that Luther will give us the level he wants to give us. It is not a package, Sito Alonso told the media yesterday.
