Germany Target Group B Crown After 4–0 Start as Voigtmann Ruled Out

A win over host Finland would set up a more favorable knockout route in Riga later this week.

Overview

  • Germany have swept their first four EuroBasket games, including a 120:57 record win over Great Britain, and are already through to the round of 16.
  • The DBB confirmed co-captain Johannes Voigtmann needs knee surgery and will miss the rest of the tournament.
  • Reports also list Bogdan Bogdanovic and Rokas Jokubaitis among recent tournament casualties, intensifying focus on injuries across the field.
  • Assistant Alan Ibrahimagić says the aim is clear against Finland: secure first place to avoid a tougher crossover with Serbia, Turkey and host Latvia, though a narrow loss could still be enough.
  • Justus Hollatz criticized an overloaded calendar as players raise welfare concerns, while German games air free-to-air on RTL and every match streams on MagentaSport/MagentaTV.
