Peñarol Ready to Ignite Home Court Advantage Against San Lorenzo
Peñarol kicks off 2025 with a highly anticipated home game against San Lorenzo at the Municipal Sports Center this Thursday at 9 p.m. [[1]] The “milrayitas” are brimming with renewed optimism after the strategic addition of Luciano González, a seasoned player who addresses a key positional need.
González, a 35-year-old veteran, brings a level of assurance that his predecessors, Devante Wallace and isaac Hamilton, were unable to provide.His arrival significantly softens the blow of losing Dominican center Miguel Simón, who departed during the break. [[3]] While Simón’s eccentric personality raised eyebrows, his departure necessitates Peñarol utilizing their final roster spot. The team is actively seeking a replacement with either prior league experience or a proven track record of success.
San Lorenzo enters the matchup facing challenges. They suffered a defeat against Platense (71-81) upon returning from the break and are grappling with financial difficulties that led to the departures of Federico Grun and Sebastián Lugo due to unpaid wages. [[2]] To bolster their roster, they’ve brought in young power forward Nicolás Stenta from Boca Juniors and sharpshooter Selem safar, who averaged 8.7 points and 1.7 assists per game with Zárate Basket. Safar previously played for San Lorenzo between 2016 and 2018.
This game presents an exciting possibility for Peñarol fans to witness their team in action after a seven-day hiatus. Following this clash, Peñarol will host Gimnasia de Comodoro Rivadavia on Sunday, January 12th, and Argentino de Junín on Thursday, January 16th. The team aims to capitalize on home court advantage to solidify their position in the standings and maintain their impressive record of more away wins than home losses.
