Alba Berlin Crushes Ludwigsburg 80–47 in Rescheduled BBL Game

A loose sponsor sticker that caused a player to slip reinvigorated calls to fix court‑surface risks.

Overview

  • A 23:0 second‑quarter surge flipped an 11:16 deficit into a 41:22 halftime lead and effectively decided the game.
  • Justin Bean led with 19 points, while Jonas Mattisseck and Martin Hermannsson added 11 each as all 12 Alba players scored.
  • The result moved Alba to 8–4 after 12 league games, level on points for fourth place in the BBL.
  • Play was halted when a sponsor sticker detached; Ludwigsburg’s Elijah Hughes later slipped on the spot and was carried off, drawing criticism from commentator Stefan Koch and players.
  • Roughly 8,500 fans saw Martynas Echodas make his home debut, with Berlin set to host Braunschweig on December 31.
