The personnel problems are not getting any smaller at the Hamburg Towers. In the Eurocup victory in Andorra (93:85), Zach Brown injured his knee shortly before the end of the game and thus joined the towers’ hospital. This currently includes Caleb Homesley, who is suffering from Corona, and Justus Hollatz.
After all, the Towers jewel Hollatz was able to travel to the team in Bayreuth and is still an option for the away game in Bavaria on Saturday (6 p.m. / live on MagentaSport). US Boy Brown is also staying in Bayreuth, but due to his overstretched knee, a deployment is unlikely according to the Wilhelmsburg team.

And then there was the termination of Ray McCallum’s contract, which left a gap in the Towers’ guard rotation. So will the Hanseatic League upgrade again? According to reports, the towers are looking at the player market. With the current squad, the Towers can win without top performers, as they showed in Andorra.

Leaving the record as a winner should finally be possible again in the league. After two bankruptcies in a row, Bayreuth is an unpleasant opponent. According to Towers coach Pedro Calles, the energy of his protégés will be the most important factor against the eleventh-placed BBL: “I have to find a way to tease them out of my team for 40 minutes, knowing full well that it won’t be easy.”
