The captain of the cup winner will be operated on next Wednesday in Halle/Saale.
Bad news for the Syntainics MBC: The freshly baked cup winner has to do without his captain Martin Breunig in the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) until the end of the season. Due to a complicated finger injury, the center will be operated on in Halle/Saale next Wednesday and can no longer be used, the club from Weißenfels announced.
Breunig had led the MBC into the final three weeks ago at the Top Four around the BBL Cup in his own hall. The 33-year-old posted 29 points and twelve rebounds in the semifinals against Bayern Munich and achieved the victory basket. In the final, the team from Saxony-Anhalt beat Bamberg Baskets (97:87) and celebrated its first national title.
According to its own information, the MBC is already looking for replacement “to close the vacant squad position”.
