Then it's time to put it on the field."

With a win, the first international medal since 2005 would be within reach.

Theis sees the development of the DBB team in the three years since the failed World Cup in China in 2019 as positive.

"Shortly before the start of the game" it will be decided whether Wagner from the NBA club Orlando Magic can play against the Greeks in his native city of Berlin.

Wagner twisted his ankle in the round of 16 of the DBB team against Montenegro on Saturday (85:79) and injured his ankle.

Nick Weiler-Babb (after shoulder problems) from FC Bayern Munich and the recently ailing center Johannes Voigtmann (CSKA Moscow), on the other hand, are able to play, according to the DBB.
