Alex Mumbry is suffering from an “acute” infection, as the German basketball federation has announced, and he will miss at least the first game of the tournament.

Per the official press release: “The German men’s national team will be without national coach Álex Mumbrú for the opening match of EuroBasket (Wednesday, August 27, 2025, Germany vs. Montenegro, 3:30 p.m. CET).

The head coach is suffering from an acute infection and was taken to the hospital in Tampere, Finland, yesterday for precautionary measures. He is receiving inpatient treatment there and is now feeling significantly better.

It is currently unclear when Mumbrú will be able to return to the team. DBB national coach Alan Ibrahimagic will continue his duties as head coach in the meantime”.
