Ufficio Stampa VL Pesaro

Despite the narrow success against Roseto confirmed Pesaro at the top of the Serie A2 standings, Vuelle is struggling to smile: on Monday, in fact, came the confirmation of the long stop to which Kay Felder, one of the landmarks of the red and white team, will be forced. The American, who already in the first part of the season had missed some games due to injury, this time will have to stop for longer and will not be able to help his teammates in the race for promotion at least until the end of March.

Francesco LuciveroAt Cantù the smile is back: the WDR cure gave an immediate shock

Nine defeats in a row were weighing like a boulder on the'Acqua S.Bernardo Cantù and its players
After the home loss to Brescia came the turning point on the bench…
., Nicola Brienza's dismissal was immediately followed by Walter De Raffaele's hiring
The experienced Livorno coach was a good prophet on the day of the presentation…
… "There will be games that we will have to try to win by one point, 85-84…"
In Reggio Emilia it went almost exactly like that, because the brianzoli went 79-78
Big star of the match one of the latest arrivals, Erick Green…
… was glacial at the lunette in the final seconds of the game with a 3/3 that proved pivotal
He made his contribution an Ife Ajayi who with Brienza seemed on the starting foot…
… Bortolani, here with play Chiozza (arrived in place of Gilyard), was the author of a sprint start
For the white-blue team a real breath of air'oxygen
The'experience this team certainly does not lack…
… not even the grit, which has always been in the Cantonese DNA…
… and as for talent, there's an element to be recovered, and that is Grant Basile… one of the new challenges of WDR

“Victoria Libertas Pallacanestro Pesaro announces that player Kay Felder, during the home match against Roseto, suffered an injury to the right long adductor muscle – reads the official statement of the Marche-based club, currently the leader in the A2 standings with 34 points, two more than Cividale, Brindisi and Libertas Livorno -. In the morning Felder underwent clinical-instrumental examinations, at the end of which a recovery path of about 50 days” was defined.

The news comes just a few days before the top challenge against Brindisi, scheduled at the Vitrifrigo Arena next Jan. 30 at 8:45 p.m., but there will be many other games that Felder will surely miss: from now to the next fifty days Pesaro will in fact face as many as six days of the championship, meeting after Brindisi also Cento, Cividale, Scafati, Rimini and JuVi Cremona. In addition, Felder will not be available for the Italian Cup Final Four, scheduled from Friday, March 13 to Sunday, March 15.

The estimated 50 days for recovery thus outlines a return that is not immediate, although it is compatible with the very last phase of the season. The staff’s goal will be to get Felder back on the court without risk, ensuring a gradual return. Pesaro hopes to find the American basketball player at the decisive moment of the year.

Nin 1995, Kay Felder is in his first season at Vuelle: having grown up at Oakland University, he played in the NBA in the uniforms of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, and Detroit Pistons (as well as in their respective G-League affiliates), before playing in the Chinese league and Puerto Rican league, coming to Italy late last summer.
