The game against Panathinaikos Athens planned for Thursday in the Euroleague had already been canceled on Monday due to corona cases in the Greek team. In the basketball Bundesliga, the next Alba game is scheduled for Sunday (3 p.m.) at the Braunschweig Löwen. Then, according to the schedule, the Berliners would have to compete in the Euroleague at Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel on Wednesday and two days later at Fenerbahce Istanbul in Turkey.

In the BBL there have already been some game cancellations in connection with infections with the coronavirus. On Tuesday, the game between EWE Baskets Oldenburg and Skyliners Frankfurt scheduled for the coming Sunday was canceled. The reason are corona-related quarantine orders for players in the baskets.

Meanwhile, the corona situation at Bundesliga basketball team s.Oliver Würzburg has worsened. “A total of 13 coaches, supervisors and players from s.Oliver Würzburg showed positive results after a PCR test for the Covid-19 pathogen,” said the Lower Franconian club on Tuesday. Among them are eight people who took part in the home game against Medi Bayreuth on Sunday.

According to the club, the Würzburg health department has initially ordered a two-week quarantine for a total of 20 players, coaches, supervisors and training players. According to the current status, the Franconians can therefore not play in the two upcoming away games on this Saturday in Bamberg and on January 15 in Chemnitz, as the club announced.

Even before the game against Bayreuth, a player had a positive quick test. Other professionals showed symptoms and refrained from participating in the game.

The fact that the game was played anyway caused displeasure at both clubs. The clubs had mutually agreed on a postponement, but the league refused, referring to the rules that provide for positive PCR tests in order to agree to a postponement. The league later confirmed this line again. It was said goodbye to all 18 clubs.

The latest developments could also have an impact on the game of the BG Göttingen on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Medi Bayreuth. It cannot be ruled out that the game of violets in Bayreuth will have to be canceled at short notice, said BG boss Frank Meinertshagen on Tuesday. After all, Medi last faced Würzburg in the Franconian Derby.

According to SPORTBUZZER information, there should be official information by Wednesday afternoon as to whether the game can take place as planned. Then the PCR test results should be available from Wednesday morning.
