Alba Berlin Faces Bundesliga Struggles After Euroleague Loss

A defeat to Fenerbahçe Istanbul highlights Alba Berlin's ongoing challenges as they prepare for a critical domestic match against Frankfurt Skyliners.

• Alba Berlin lost 73-90 to Fenerbahçe Istanbul in the Euroleague, marking their 17th defeat in 20 games and leaving them at the bottom of the standings.
• Despite the loss, Alba showed competitive play for much of the game, even briefly taking the lead in the fourth quarter before Fenerbahçe regained control.
• The team's focus has shifted to the Bundesliga, where they currently rank 15th with just five wins in 13 games, their worst position at this point in the season.
• Key players, including captain Martin Hermannsson, are returning from injuries, but the team continues to grapple with fitness issues and inconsistent performances.
• Sunday's Bundesliga match against the Frankfurt Skyliners, who sit below Alba in the standings, is seen as a must-win to improve their playoff prospects.
