Chemnitz Chase Fifth Straight EuroCup Win at Ulm as Newman Sits

Ulm face pressure to keep their EuroCup playoff hopes realistic.

  • The EuroCup group game tips Wednesday in Ulm with Chemnitz fifth on seven wins and Ulm eighth on five.
  • Chemnitz have won four straight in the competition and can stretch the streak to five with a road victory.
  • Coach Rodrigo Pastore will not risk John Newman after a thigh injury, while captain Kaza Kajami-Keane is expected back from a stomach illness.
