Overview
- Frankfurt beat Siauliai 79:71 in the Ballsporthalle to record their first EuroCup victory of the season and their first European home game win since 2019.
- Judah Mintz delivered a decisive late play, scoring a falling basket and a free throw that swung the lead in Frankfurt’s favor during the final minutes.
- Coach Klaus Perwas praised the team’s end‑game composure but said the Skyliners must reach that intensity from the start and be more consistent over 40 minutes.
- Center Race Thompson missed the game with knee problems and his availability for the club’s upcoming Bundesliga fixture is uncertain, highlighting thin depth at the big positions.
- Only about 1,430 spectators attended the return to European competition, a turnout that the club sees as a challenge as it balances domestic and continental schedules and prepares for a trip to London next in the EuroCup.
