“We can hardly wait to finally be able to play in front of our fans again,” says BG managing director Frank Meinertshagen. “Of course, we have to keep an eye on the infection process. We know from experience over the past few months that conditions can change again quickly. It is therefore by no means certain that we will be able to play in front of spectators at the end of August. But we will take all the necessary precautions. ”Information on ticket sales and hygiene and safety regulations will be announced in good time.
In addition to the preparatory game against Paderborn, there are other non-public tests in the Sartorius Basketball Lab against ProA league players Medipolis SC Jena (22.08.) And Eisbären Bremerhaven (27.08.), As well as against the Belgian teams Kangoeroes Melchelen (04.09.) And Okapi Aalst ( 07.09.).
