Frightening Scene in BBL Game
Bayern Munich’s Weiler-Babb Suffers Concussion After Scary Fall
03/03/2022, 06:45 am
Despite securing a home victory in the basketball Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is facing concerns over the health of star player Nick Weiler-Babb following a frightening incident during the game.
The 26-year-old American guard suffered a severe concussion after a hard fall during a dunk attempt in the fourth quarter of Bayern’s 86-75 win against the Hamburg Towers. Weiler-Babb lost consciousness momentarily and required several minutes of medical attention on the court before being stretchered off.
The incident overshadowed the return of national player Paul Zipser, who made his comeback after a lengthy recovery from brain surgery in June 2021. Zipser entered the game for the final 15 seconds of the third quarter to a warm reception from the crowd but saw limited action.
Bayern coach Andrea Trinchieri expressed relief that the injury wasn’t more serious, stating, “We’re lucky that we’re not dealing with a more significant tragedy. Contact in the air is incredibly dangerous, and referees need to be more vigilant in these situations.” The medical team shielded Weiler-Babb from the view of spectators with towels while administering treatment. Bayern later confirmed that Weiler-Babb had regained consciousness and was undergoing further evaluation at a local hospital.
A Comeback Overshadowed
While Zipser’s return was a positive moment for Bayern, the focus quickly shifted to Weiler-Babb’s well-being. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the physical risks inherent in professional basketball.
The game itself saw a strong comeback from Bayern after a sluggish first half. Hamburg’s Caleb Homesley led all scorers with 25 points, including a dominant stretch in the second quarter. However, Bayern rallied in the second half, outscoring Hamburg 58-29 to secure the victory.
In a show of solidarity with Ukraine, both teams wore “No More War” t-shirts during warm-ups and on the bench, and displayed a banner with the same message before tip-off.
