FC Bayern Basketball will have to do without Niels Giffey for the coming weeks: The 33-year-old world champion dislocated a finger during Munich's away game in Göttingen on Sunday (95:81) and suffered a fracture from the collision. Giffey successfully underwent surgery on Tuesday morning on the affected ring finger of his left hand.
The national team player had been in excellent form after a strong preseason, and during the win over Real Madrid (97:89), he made his usual important shots and hustle plays.
FC Bayern Basketball wishes their small forward a speedy recovery.
