Top basketball duel: BG Göttingen versus Phoenix Hagen in a clash!

On Saturday, November 18th, 2025, there is an exciting basketball duel in the S-Arena: BG Göttingen meets Phoenix Hagen in the 2nd league ProA. Both teams are doing the honors and have already moved to the top of the table with an impressive record of eight wins and just one defeat. A truly top game that fans have been looking forward to for a long time!

The Göttingen team has shown strong nerves and team spirit in recent appearances. Most recently they won against BBC Bamberg with 88:77, and Daniel Kirchner was delighted to receive the player of the game award. Zach Jackson and Kevin Buckingham also stand out with their efficiency, which puts a smile on the coaches' faces. Such performances must be repeated again against Phoenix Hagen.

Hagen on the rise

The guests from Hagen also come into the match with a tailwind. After an impressive 123:81 against the Bayer Giants Leverkusen, they show that they are serious competitors this season. They scored more than 100 points in six of the nine games and have a remarkable average of around 104 points per game. Their win against Leverkusen was the third-highest number of points in the club's history and makes the anticipation for next Saturday even greater.

A quick glance at the last comparison between the two teams shows that BG Göttingen clearly had the upper hand in the test match on August 31st with 121:96. However, it is difficult to compare this with the current form curves of the two clubs, so an exciting duel is guaranteed.

Young talent system and future prospects

But it's not just professional basketball that is exciting in this country. Promoting young talent in basketball has also become more important in recent years. The Institute for Applied Training Science (IAT) in Leipzig recently published an infographic on structured youth competitive sports support in Germany. This deals in detail with the support structures that exist throughout Germany and graphically shows the development path of talented athletes into the performance system. Adam Ligocki, the sporting director of the German Basketball Federation (DBB), emphasizes how important such transparent information is for coaches, clubs and athletes. These measures are a crucial step in optimally supporting the next generation of basketball players.

Basketball fans can look forward to an exciting event, especially in view of the upcoming game between BG Göttingen and Phoenix Hagen, which starts at 6:30 p.m. In a high-class sporting environment it will be shown which team has the longer stamina and the better teamwork on the floor.

Fans can be happy because these are exciting times for basketball in Germany in which everyone can take part.
