On July 3rd, the national basketball team will come to Bremen and play against Poland in the World Cup qualifier. NBA star Dennis Schröder could also be there.
The German national basketball team is playing its last game in the first group phase of the World Cup qualifier against Poland in the Bremen Stadthalle. This was announced by the German Basketball Federation (DBB) on Monday. The meeting will take place on July 3rd at 6 p.m. Then NBA professionals could also be available.
The selection of national coach Gordon Herbert is currently leading Group D of four after three wins from four games with seven points and is about to jump into the next qualifying round. Three teams advance. On 30 June Tallinn hosts the second leg against Estonia, third behind Israel (both six points) and ahead of Poland (five). “We just ended a window with two really good victories against a very good team. Now, after a short break, we’re fully focused on the third window,” said Herbert, looking back at the recent brace against Israel.
Since the seasons in the NBA and the EuroLeague end before the next international window, Herbert can optimally draw on the full against Estonia and Poland. The NBA professionals were missing in the previous qualification for the 2023 World Cup (Indonesia/Japan/Philippines). “Of course it’s difficult to say at this point which players can be there,” said Herbert.
