Oldenburg – The Bundesliga season is over for EWE Baskets Oldenburg. The end of the season with the basketball professionals and the fans on the club grounds on Maastricht Street is coming up earlier than originally planned this Friday (from 6 p.m.). Here, supporters have the opportunity to talk to the players before they go on vacation. Some will return to Oldenburg afterwards, others will not. An overview:
Len Schoormann: It is very likely that the guard will play in Oldenburg again after the summer. After all, the 21-year-old, who came from Hamburg Towers before the season, still has a contract until 2025. The Darmstadt native also impressed this season with his athleticism and commitment.
Comment
BASKETS OLDENBURG A Bundesliga season full of low blows
Alen Pjanic: Those responsible for the Baskets want to continue to rely on the 27-year-old crowd favorite in the future. The club therefore extended its expiring contract until 2025 in May 2023. This season he only played twelve competitive games due to his broken arm from the previous season, but he immediately showed how important he is.
Norris Agbakoko: The 24-year-old center is a man for the future. The Baskets had already extended his contract until 2025 in October 2022. He should become the face of the club. However, the Bremen native has repeatedly struggled with injuries in recent years. This season too, Agbakoko was out from the end of April until the end of the season – by then the center had taken a big step forward in development.

Kenneth Ogbe: His time in Oldenburg so far was also marked by injuries. During the phase of the season in which the Baskets had to cope with up to six failures at times, the 29-year-old was one of the main pillars in coach Pedro Calles’ system. Ogbe came to Hunte from Bamberg in 2022. His contract expires this summer. It’s quite possible that he’ll stay at least another year.
Max DiLeo: In 2022, the German-American also moved from Hamburg to Oldenburg. The captain’s contract also expires in the summer. Since Calles, with whom the 31-year-old has worked continuously since Vechta, will remain with the Baskets until 2025, an extension of the expiring contract is very likely.
DISAPPOINTMENT, FRUSTRATION AND CONSTRUCTION WORK This is how the Baskets Oldenburg are dealing with the early end of the season
Lukas Wank: The 27-year-old winger arrived shortly before the start of the season and was supposed to cushion Pjanic’s loss. The Altenburg native impressed as a leader this season. His contract expires in the summer. Holding it would be a strong signal given the German positions.
DeWayne Russell: The playmaker had his contract extended to 2025 in April 2023. The 30-year-old feels comfortable in Oldenburg, even if he wasn’t always able to build on the previous season this season.

Ebuka Izundu: The athletic center came from Belgrade before this season and has a contract for the coming season. After initial difficulties, the 27-year-old Nigerian got better and better. It remains to be seen whether both sides would like to continue working together. Finally, there are also a variety of options for longer-term contracts.
Charles Manning Jr.: It is also unclear whether the development player will stay for another season despite a two-year contract. The 25-year-old only made eight appearances in the league. Although he showed strong performances in these, his long absence could speak against continued employment.

Brekkott Chapman: The power forward has signed a one-season contract. The 28-year-old was one of the top performers, but was also injured for a long time. Future open.
Deane Williams: The Englishman also has a one-year contract. The 27-year-old was also out for a long time and was unable to fully show his potential. Future open.
