Overview

• The DBBL said Alba could not arrive on time despite preparations due to external circumstances and canceled the match.
• Reports cite train cancellations after a medical emergency on the Berlin–Osnabrück line as the likely cause, which has not been formally confirmed by the league or clubs.
• The game against GiroLive Panthers Osnabrück was slated for Sunday at 16:00 at the OSC-Halle as Alba’s season opener.
• How the result is recorded depends on whether the delay is judged team responsibility or force majeure under DBBL rules.
• The setback follows the DBBL’s decision to provide no live streams for the first two matchdays because some clubs cannot guarantee required broadcast quality.
