Overview

• Coach Álex Mumbrú removed 19-year-old point guard Christian Anderson from the expanded squad, reducing it to 14 players.
• He logged only two minutes and three seconds in the Supercup final and was unused in the semifinal, limiting his bid for a tournament role.
• Both Mumbrú and captain Dennis Schröder have praised Anderson’s long-term potential and cited him as a future cornerstone of the national team.
• Candidates for the final two roster cuts include Nelson Weidemann and Leon Kratzer, who suffered a knee contusion in the Supercup semifinal.
• Germany plays warm-up matches against Spain on August 21 in Madrid and August 23 in Cologne before opening EuroBasket against Montenegro in Tampere on August 27.
