Alba Berlin celebrates a strong start of the year: victory against Freiburg kingfish!

Alba Berlin's basketball players successfully started 2025 on Saturday evening. With a clear 75: 59 victory against the Freiburg kingfishers, the team continued its successful run from the previous year. Before the turn of the year, the Berliners had already achieved four victories in a row and continued to position themselves in the upper table region of the German Basketball Bundesliga (DBBL).

at halftime Alba Berlin clearly led with 44:26. The strong defensive of the Berliners turned out to be a key to success in this game. Alba player Maggie Mulligan emphasized that the team did not want to tackle the game too easily despite the opposing placement, which was reflected in a sovereign and a closed team performance.

outlook on upcoming games

"We look forward to the upcoming challenges," said the Berliners. The next game in the DBBL Cup is coming up: On Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. you will meet Dillingen Diamonds in the quarter-finals. In addition, the next league game will be played on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Charlottenburg sports hall against Marburg, such as rbb24 reported.

In another context, Alba Berlin recently signed Nicole Fransson's newcomer. The 27-year-old inside player made his debut for Nördlingen and was able to achieve 27 points and 9 rebounds in the first game. This obligation was due to staff bottlenecks at Nördlingen, where playmaker Enija Viksne and inside player Kiara Bell failed before the start of the season. The club had to start the season with only ten players, and wing player Laci Hawthorne has been leaving the club for a few weeks.

The injuries to Laura Schinkel and Channten Stonewall, which are important supports of the team, also make the situation for Nördlingen difficult. Stonewall even ended the season prematurely. Despite these challenges, Deeshyra Thomas from Alba Berlin expressed itself optimistically about the preparation after the Christmas break and emphasized the importance of training sessions for team preparation, such as alberlin.de reported.
