Overview
- Syntainics MBC left at 13:30 for the 430‑kilometre bus trip to Oldenburg after its bid to reschedule was turned down.
- The BBL told the club the situation did not meet the threshold for force majeure, according to an email from sports chief Robert Wintermantel.
- About 285 kilometres of the planned journey lie in areas under red severe‑weather warnings issued by the German Weather Service (DWD).
- Host EWE Baskets Oldenburg had already declined a rescheduling request, and the game remains slated for Saturday at 18:30.
- Separately, Hamburg’s game against Trier was canceled after the Elbe‑island arena was closed over snow‑load risks, and coverage recalls a 2014 snow‑stranding that led to a 0:40 ruling.
