Amaizes injury: Rostock Seawolves without a star in the Ulm duel!
The situation at the Rostock Seawolves couldn't be more complicated. The challenges of the new season begin with the loss of Robin Amaize, one of the team's top performers. The winger tore his Achilles tendon in the opening game against the VET-Concept Gladiators Trier (78:88) and is expected to miss the entire season. This bitter news was commented with deep regret by sporting director Kevin Anstett, emphasizing Amaize's return and support for him in the coming months. Amaize was already a serious MVP candidate last season and impressed with 14.4 points per game, plus an impressive performance of 32 points against Heidelberg in February.
The Rostock Seawolves are now faced with the question of how they can compensate for this painful loss. The German market does not offer equivalent replacement players, which is why the focus is on international talent. This challenge is not entirely unexpected as Amaize is not the only player currently hit by injury trouble. His teammate Dominic Lockhardt will not be able to be back on the field until the end of the year at the earliest. His Achilles tendon injury is a concern as it could put a significant strain on the team's structure.
The upcoming encounter in Ulm
On October 4th, the Seawolves have to play against runner-up Ratiopharm Ulm. The team has been preparing for this encounter for a week, while the Ulm team have won their last games in the Eurocup and the BBL. Ulm's squad has changed significantly compared to the previous year, as numerous top players moved to financially stronger clubs. The Rostock team hope that their improved freshness will be an advantage given the difficult conditions in the non-game week.
The game is particularly explosive because Malick Osborne, who used to play for Rostock and scored 13.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game last season, is now hunting for baskets for the upcoming opponent. DeAndre Lansdowne, playmaker for the Rostock Seawolves, emphasizes that each individual has to do more to compensate for the setback. “We have to come together as a team,” emphasizes Lansdowne.
Broadcast and playing time
The game between the Rostock Seawolves and Ratiopharm Ulm will be played on October 4th at 6:30 p.m. in Ulm. The game will be broadcast on a streaming service at 6:15 p.m. The support of the fan base will be crucial for the Seawolves to show cohesion and morale during this critical period full of setbacks.
The eyes are now on the team. What solutions will the Seawolves find to survive without Amaize? The next games will show whether they have the necessary “hand” to overcome this big challenge.
