BBL Season Opens With 18 Teams and Points Table as MBC Win in Europe, Chemnitz Secure Pastore

Chemnitz enter a congested opening stretch under extended coach Rodrigo Pastore, reflecting clubs’ twin domestic and European demands.

Overview

  • Syntainics MBC began with an ENBL victory over TalTech/ALEXELA Tallinn in Marco Ramondino’s first competitive game in charge, with the coach citing typical early-season nerves.
  • Wing Stephon Jelks has rejoined MBC and is slated to make his first appearance no earlier than the second league game against Telekom Baskets Bonn.
  • Niners Chemnitz extended Rodrigo Pastore’s contract through 2028 and rebuilt the roster with ten newcomers, retaining only Roman Bedime and Kevin Yebo from last season.
  • Chemnitz open Sunday at ratiopharm Ulm and start their BKT EuroCup campaign on October 1 at Panionios Athens, part of a run of six games in 13 days.
  • The BBL returns to an 18-team field with a conventional points table, direct playoff berths for the top six, play-ins for places seven to ten, and best-of-five playoff series.
