This afternoon at 17:30, Unicaja from Malaga and Joventut Badalona will kick off what is arguably the most unpredictable King’s Cup in recent years. The vulnerability displayed by dominant teams such as Real Madrid and Barça in the initial round, coupled with the failure of Baskonia to qualify—the third Spanish team eligible to compete in the Euroleague—has seemingly broadened the pool of contenders. Consequently, it appears that there is no definitive favourite poised to claim the championship trophy in Gran Canaria next Sunday at the Arena.
