Zipser cannot support cup winners Bayern in the final series of the championship against Alba Berlin that started on Wednesday. As Munich announced only half an hour before the start of the first encounter in the capital, the 27-year-old international will not be there “for the time being due to neurological problems”. “Zipser is currently in intensive medical examinations, only after their conclusion will the FCBB comment on the state of affairs”, it said in a message.
The former Chicago Bulls player had previously played a major role in Bayern’s so far successful season, which not only won the German Cup, but was also the first team from the Bundesliga to qualify for the play-offs in the European premier Euroleague. In the cup final against Alba Zipser was also top scorer with 18 points this season.
