Germany Thumps Sweden 105-83 for 2-0 EuroBasket Start as Mumbrú Remains Hospitalized

Assistant Alan Ibrahimagic is directing the team, with doctors indicating the head coach may only rejoin for the final round in Riga.

Overview

  • The world champions controlled the noon tip in Tampere to move to 2-0 in Group B after Wednesday’s 106-76 over Montenegro.
  • A false fire alarm at the team hotel around 1 a.m. did not disrupt Germany’s performance against Sweden.
  • Isaac Bonga returned after a knee scare in the opener and started, while Johannes Voigtmann was rested with knee soreness as a precaution.
  • Dennis Schröder scored 23 points and Franz Wagner 21, with Maodo Lo adding 13, as Germany’s offense hit 59 by halftime.
  • Team doctor Oliver Pütz said Mumbrú’s acute abdominal condition is stabilizing and that a return during the Tampere group stage is unlikely, with Ibrahimagic set to coach against Lithuania on Saturday.
