Germany rebounds in Super Cup, as declared by Center Theis
German National Basketball Team Prepares for Supercup
The German national basketball team is gearing up for a crucial match this weekend. On Saturday, they will face either Serbia or the Czech Republic in the Supercup, scheduled to take place in Munich on Friday.
The team will reconvene in Munich on Wednesday, marking the start of their preparations for the tournament. However, five players with physical issues were missing in their last game against Slovenia: Theis, Maodo Lo, David Kramer, Christian Anderson, and Oscar da Silva.
One of the key players, Daniel Theis, a longtime NBA center, is set to debut for the national team this summer. Theis, currently playing for AS Monaco in the Euroleague, has been dealing with knee problems and missed the test match doubleheader against Slovenia due to these issues. Despite his knee problems, Theis remains optimistic about playing in the Supercup.
On the sidelines of the test match against Slovenia at "Magentasport", Theis made these comments, expressing his expectation to play the first game at the Supercup from Friday. However, his injury status ahead of the Supercup remains unconfirmed or not publicly reported as of mid-August 2025. It would be advisable to check official team communications closer to the event for updated information.
Johannes Voigtmann, another key player, only played for a little over a quarter of an hour due to a viral illness in the game against Slovenia. National coach Alex Mumbru hopes to have his entire squad available by the weekend.
The Supercup game in Munich is scheduled for Friday, promising an exciting encounter for basketball fans across Germany. Stay tuned for more updates on the German national team's preparations and their performance in the Supercup.
