Basketball European Championship 2025: Germany starts against Montenegro! This is how you see it!
The 2025 European Basketball Championship is just around the corner! The tournament begins on August 27th in Tampere, Finland, where the German national team will play its first game against Montenegro at 3:30 p.m. RTL will broadcast all of the German team's games live on free TV, while viewers will also have the opportunity to watch the matches RTL+ or stream with a MagentaTV subscription.
The anticipation for the first match is great, even if the German team has to compete without Moritz Wagner. The NBA professional from the Orlando Magic has ruled out taking part in the European Championships due to a torn cruciate ligament. Wagner stated that he suffered this serious injury during a game against the Miami Heat and has not undergone surgery so far. “It makes no sense to appear in the German jersey,” he explained in his podcast and would like to concentrate on his recovery first in order to reduce the mental pressure. It's bittersweet as this is now the second European Championship Wagner has missed due to injury; He was unable to play in 2022 due to a foot injury. However, he remains optimistic that he will be back in action soon after successfully rehabilitating. This reports ZDF.

With Alex Mumbru, the German national team has a new coach who is following in Gordon Herbert's footsteps. Mumbru has the challenge of preparing the team for the upcoming games and there are some exciting challenges along the way. The entire game plan for the DBB team is as follows:
