Out of line: Nolan Adekunle Image: picture alliance / Eibner press photo
Winger Nolan Adekunle is under contract with the Skyliners, but he still trained in Chemnitz. The case ends up in court. What’s next?
Since last Saturday, the Fraport Skyliners, who have been relegated from the basketball Bundesliga, have been actively preparing for the new season in the Pro A division of the second division, which begins for Frankfurt on October 1 with a home game against Bayreuth, who was also relegated to the first division . 14 players, including many newcomers, are currently in the squad, which is being led by new coach Denis Wucherer. “We have a group that seems to be fun,” says managing director Yannick Binas.
But someone steps out of line and causes trouble: Nolan Adekunle. The 21-year-old winger has a contract with the Skyliners until the end of the 2023/2024 season. Despite this, Adekunle has yet to show up for training. Instead, he trained as a guest player with the Bundesliga club from Chemnitz. The people of Frankfurt found out about this earlier this week – mind you from the newspaper. The “Freie Presse” showed a picture of Adekunle warming up with the Chemnitz team.
