Eastern derby in Leipzig: Ty Brewer returns to the spotlight with Chemnitz!

On December 24th, 2025, exciting curves in the German basketball landscape! The upcoming duels between the Syntainics MBC and the NINERS Chemnitz promise a lot of excitement, especially after Ty Brewer, who shone at the MBC last season, is now on the floor for the Chemnitz team. The first meeting between the two teams since Brewer's move not only represents a personal challenge, but could also be crucial for the league's standings.

In the history of this rivalry, Chemnitz has won the first nine derbies. It wasn't until April 19, 2023 that the MBC was able to inflict the NINERS' first defeat in the series with a narrow 97:95 win, with Ty Brewer making a significant contribution to the success with 26 points. This season, Brewer is once again drawn to the NINERS with fresh energy as they look to make a fresh start after a disappointing season.

Current form and table position

The Syntainics MBC is currently in fourth place in the table, with a track record of 7 wins and 4 losses. In particular, the last games against Munich (62:83) and Würzburg (71:89) were sobering, while they were able to score points against Heidelberg and Braunschweig. The NINERS Chemnitz, on the other hand, are in 13th place with 5 wins and 6 defeats and recently suffered four defeats in a row before they were able to achieve a narrow 97:92 victory over Rostock.

However, the Chemnitz team can look back on an up-and-coming form after defeating Besiktas Istanbul 97:95 in the EuroCup. Ty Brewer's exciting career, which includes impressive performances in both the BBL and EuroCup, could help the NINERS climb the league.

The key players

It will be particularly interesting to see how the top scorers of the two teams develop. After his move, Brewer will take on a central role with the NINERS. His former teammate, Marcus Foster, has taken his place at MBC and is currently the team's main golfer with 14.6 points per game. In addition, the NINERS have the highest number of three-point shots per game compared to the MBC (33), hitting 50% of their shots against Rostock - a season record.

In contrast, the MBC has the best three-point rate in the league with 38.3%, although their last results against the Würzburgers were rather disappointing with only 24% from distance. These statistical differences could be crucial to the outcome of the upcoming game.

Contract situation and transfers

The transfer activities among the teams are also exciting. Ty Brewer and Kostja Mushidi moved from Syntainics MBC to NINERS Chemnitz in the summer, who are reorienting themselves with experienced players to improve their performance. Meanwhile, the MBC has temporary contracts for players Perttu Blomgren and Stephon Jelks that expire at the end of the year. Collins Welp, another valuable player at MBC, will also look for an offensive rebound to reach a special mark.

The upcoming “XMAS EVENT GAME” in Leipzig, where the MBC will compete against the NINERS, promises an exciting basketball event with the opportunity for spectators to follow the duel live. The game will be broadcast on Friday at 6:15 p.m. In this toughest rival duel, the history of the encounters and the fresh changes could make the difference. Who will win the derby this year?
