When Devin Booker casually "unveiled" himself under the cheering of his colleagues, the secret was finally revealed: The new home jersey of the German champions is here!
The Bavarian basketball players wore the kits for the first time on Tuesday evening at the atmospheric team presentation for season ticket holders in the Audi Dome - the jersey is now available for everyone at the online shop. The new jersey comes in a colourful contrasting look and typical sporty design with a contrasting V-neck. "The jersey feels very good," said FCBB captain Danilo Barthel.
Start in Zadar against ZSKA Moscow

"Of course we can't be 100% satisfied with the preparation because Milan injured himself", said coach Dejan Radonjic on Tuesday evening. "But otherwise we are on schedule and are now looking forward to the important games in Zadar. I am sure that we will be ready for the start of the season in Ulm."
Radonjic will have the complete squad at his disposal for the first time in Zadar, with the exception of Milan Macvan, wh recently underwent knee surgery. The international players Barthel, Petteri Koponen, Vladimir Lucic and Stefan Jovic will all be there for the club. Before his official test match debut, Maodo Lo is ready to go after getting over some recent issues with his foot.
