NBA candidates' ultimate deployment remains undecided for Ulm - NBA final candidate selection remains undecided for Ulm
Title: Ulm's NBA contenders' participation in the decisive Basketball-Bundlesliga games remains unclear
What's the deal with the NBA hopefuls of ratiopharm Ulm, Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue, and their status for the decisive Basketball-Bundesliga games?
Ya bloody ‘ell, the Fourth of July just ain't coming quick enough for the basketball fans in Ulm. With the NBA Draft happening in New York on the 22nd, the basketball gods have got everyone up in arms over the participation of the team’s two NBA candidates, Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue.
The Ulmers, the league, and Bayern Munich have been kickin' up a fuss about the matter, but ol' Thorsten Leibenath, Ulm's Sportdirektor, ain't spillin' the beans. He told dpa that they won't give a damn platitude on the subject, and if you want to know if the lads are playin' or not, you'll 'ave to bloody well show up in the hall.
There's been a right old ruckus about it because, well, let's just say the duo's got a solid shot of being nabbed by a club in the first round. The Ulmers had even requested a reschedule of games four and five, but the league wouldn't budge, citing the damn Spielordnung.
Ulm's within a hair's breadth of lifting their second championship title since bloody 2023, right here in their hometown. Now, if ya'll can recall, Saraf and Essengue were both present in the previous finals.
Leibenath ain't mincing his words when he says, "We've got ourselves one hell of a game on our hands tomorrow night. I reckon it'll be louder and more intense than '4th of July in Blighty'!” Ulm's been bloody unbeatable at home this season, with just the one loss under their belts. As for Bayern, well, they're lookin' at a season without a bloody title, which, let's face it, would be a major sod's law for a team with a budget that's higher than the Himalayas.

- Noa Essengue's participation in the remainder of the BBL finals for Ulm is not confirmed. He has left the team to attend the NBA Draft in Brooklyn, missing the decisive games.[1][2][4] Essengue expressed confidence in his teammates and highlighted that the draft is a special opportunity, making him unavailable for the crucial games.
- Ben Saraf is expected to remain with the team throughout the BBL finals. Unlike Essengue, Saraf did not receive a Green Room invite to the NBA Draft and has decided to stay with Ulm, continuing to contribute on the court.[2][4][5]
Despite the NBA Draft's upcoming event in the United States, the Commission has also been consulted on the draft regulation of the European Union's financial interests, adding to the tension surrounding the NBA prospects of ratiopharm Ulm, namely Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue. Interestingly, while Saraf is expected to remain with the team for the decisive Basketball-Bundesliga games, Essengue's participation remains unconfirmed due to his attendance at the NBA Draft in Brooklyn. The forthcoming Finalspiel between Ulm and potential rivals is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events for basketball fans in Neu-Ulm, especially given the team's impressive home record this season.
