Huge basketball battle: Trier wants to break Heidelberg's records!
An exciting basketball autumn awaits Cologne! On November 7th, 2025, all eyes will be on the MLP Academics Heidelberg and the VET-CONCEPT Gladiators Trier. Heidelberg, the newly crowned semi-finalists of the 2024/25 season playoffs, can prepare for the upcoming duel against Trier, who have impressed this season and are off to a strong start. The encounter is also a dress rehearsal for the cup quarter-finals, in which Heidelberg will face Munich on November 13th in Bamberg and Trier on November 16th. This promises high excitement and lots of action![easycredit-bbl.de]
The Gladiators from Trier are currently experiencing a phenomenal start to the season that could go down in the history books. With four wins from four games at the start of the season, Trier has eclipsed the record of a promoted team and has also won six of seven competitive games. The team played a particularly outstanding game against Vechta, which they won with a strong 96:87 - including an impressive 17:3 run that completely overwhelmed their opponents. On the other hand, Heidelberg suffered a bitter defeat. They lost 81:93 to FC Bayern Munich and were already behind by 28 points at halftime.[easycredit-bbl.de]
Scorers under the microscope
A look at the player numbers reveals a lot about the character of the two teams. Eli Brooks and Jordan Roland stand out at Trier. Brooks, as the central offensive element, scores 17.7 points per game, while Roland caused a stir with 17.3 points and a sensational match-winning performance against Vechta (26 points). In contrast, at Heidelberg we find Michael Weathers with 12.2 points and 11.0 points from DJ Horne, who is currently injured and therefore not available.[easycredit-bbl.de]
Speaking of injuries: Heidelberg is faced with several failures. DJ Horne has to be sidelined for several weeks due to a capsule injury. Paul Zipser is also out longer with a hand injury. In order to do justice to the team's criticism, the Academics have signed Eric Reed Jr. as reinforcement from Veolia Towers Hamburg, who will remain until the end of the season. At Trier, however, Behnam Yakhchali had to sit out one game after a disqualifying foul, while Clay Guillozet was unable to play for two games due to a thigh problem.[easycredit-bbl.de]
Encounter with history
The upcoming encounter in the “beletage” is also a first for both teams since their last clash in the second league in 2020/21, which Heidelberg won in both duels. This time something is different, as both have experience from last season: eight rotation players at Heidelberg and nine at Trier already know each other, which makes the encounter particularly exciting.[easycredit-bbl.de]
Back to the exciting atmosphere of the games: Nolan Adekunle von Trier makes an exemplary contribution to this success by putting up 9.0 points per game and an impressive three-point rate of 50.0%. The player who prevented Trier's promotion last season has quickly integrated himself into the team's fortunes.[easycredit-bbl.de]
The game on Sunday will be broadcast live on Dyn from 4:15 p.m. and Chris Schmidt will accompany the action as a commentator. Fans can look forward to an exciting match that will not only strengthen the rivalry between the two teams, but also promises numerous basketball highlights - cheers to the sport that brings people together, not just in this country, but worldwide![easycredit-bbl.de]
