Semifinal stage of basketball competition - Alba's basketball team plays without Hermannsson against Chemnitz.
The Alba Berlin basketball team needs to win the German championship without playmaker Martin Hermannsson. The Icelandic player won't be playing in the crucial fifth semi-final against the Chemnitz Niners on Thursday (6:30 pm/Dyn), thanks to a calf injury. Hermannsson becomes the third point guard injured for the Berliners, who are also missing Matteo Spagnolo and Ziga Samar.
Additionally, the presence of team captain Johannes Thiemann is dubious as he deals with a persistent patellar tendon attachment injury. The team from the Spree will only decide if he can play shortly before the game. With the series between the capital club and the Saxons currently tied 2:2, Alba must go on without these key players.
