Gießen’s competitor in the fight to stay in the Bundesliga, MBC from Weißenfels, lost on Friday evening with newcomer and ex-Gießener John Bryant. The MBC lost 76:84 at the Hamburg Towers – Bryant, who only switched from the Gießen 46ers to Weißenfels this week, played well. The 2.11m man scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
On Wednesday, Bryant and the Gießen 46ers, for whom the 2.11-meter man had played since 2017 with a brief interruption, agreed on a contract termination. After a training session with his new team, the center was already on the Weißenfels team bus to Hamburg on Thursday. »Unfortunately it is sometimes the case that what is planned and hoped for does not materialize and cannot be implemented. Both John and we have recognized that the current situation is not satisfactory for either side,” said 46ers managing director and sports director Sebastian Schmidt.
