Preview: Rayos Look to Rebound Against Ciudad de Mexico in CIBACOPA Matchup

HERMOSILLO, Sonora (Interstat) — Two teams seeking momentum will meet Sunday when the Hermosillo Rayos visit Ciudad de Mexico in a Mexican CIBACOPA basketball contest.

The Rayos (5-7 overall) enter on a two-game skid, including an 86-64 home loss to the Jalisco Astros on Thursday. Ciudad de Mexico (6-8) last played on March 14, falling 98-85 to Los Mochis.

Hermosillo will lean on forward KiAndre Gaddy, who has been a consistent force. He is coming off a 20-point, 18-rebound performance in the loss to Jalisco and is averaging a double-double over his last eight games. His interior presence will be critical for a Rayos team that has struggled offensively in its recent losses.

Ciudad de Mexico counters with its own standout in Trahson Burrell. The center scored 25 points in his last outing and averaged 17.3 points over a recent four-game stretch. His ability to score efficiently will be key for a Ciudad de Mexico squad that has shown volatility, alternating blowout wins with double-digit losses this month.

These teams last met on Saturday, March 21, with no result provided. Sunday’s game offers both a chance to climb toward a .500 record in the league standings.

For Hermosillo, guard Romeao Ferguson, who had 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists on Thursday, provides a secondary scoring option. Ciudad de Mexico will look for support from Dayon Griffin and Antwan Kimmons, who combined for 32 points in the loss to Los Mochis.

Following this game, Hermosillo begins a two-game set against Los Mochis on Tuesday. Ciudad de Mexico starts a road trip with a pair of games at Tijuana next Friday.

The matchup tips off Sunday, March 22, 2026, in Mexico City.
