Alba Berlin Team News
The Berlin team has lost all chances for placement in the knockout phase. But they try to use every game until the end of the season to develop and mature young players.
In the last round, Alba’s basketball players beat Bayern in Munich with a score of 76-75 thanks to Yanni Wetzell’s basket a second before the end of the last quarter. In this way, they ended the streak of three consecutive defeats. Alba’s primary goal until the end of the season will be to avoid last place in the table, and with the victory against the Bavarians, they came a little closer to achieving that goal.
Due to injuries, Marcus Eriksson and Yovel Zoosman will miss the game against Anadolu Efes. Johannes Theimann did not play against Bayern due to a knee injury, and it is unknown if he will play on Thursday. Tamir Blatt did not play against Ludwigsburg at the weekend, so there is a chance that he will miss the upcoming game as well.
Anadolu Efes Team News
On the other hand, the current European champions are in an unenviable position before the end of the regular season. In the previous round, they lost to Partizan 84-97 in Istanbul, which greatly complicated their position. Heading into Round 30, their win-loss record is 14-15, and mathematically, they need to win four of their last five games.
It will not be easy because the atmosphere in the team could be better. After the defeat against Partizan, Shane Larkin publicly criticized coach Ergin Ataman for playing a small number of minutes against the Belgrade black and whites. In addition, the coach of Anadolu Efes was hospitalized due to pneumonia during the weekend, so it is unknown whether he will travel to Berlin.
On Sunday, they were also defeated in the domestic championship. Buyukcekmece beat them with a 98-97, and the team was without Vasilije Micic, Shane Larkin, and Rodrigue Beaubois. The French basketball player has been injured for a long time, and whether he will play on Thursday is questionable. Micic and Larkin probably got a day off due to the importance of the match against Alba.
