But the reigning basketball champions Gmunden would have preferred to do a useful dress rehearsal on the floor before the first play-off quarterfinals on Sunday (8 p.m., Sky) against the Raiffeisen Flyers Wels. Opponent St. Pölten did not appear in the team due to some corona cases.
The Welser go into the knockout phase with a (meaningless) 73:86 home defeat against Klosterneuburg. The people of Messestadt are worried about injuries, TJ Birts, Jacob Ledoux and Elvir Jakupovic were not available.
“Now it’s time to get the team fit for the play-offs. But it’s looking anything but good,” says Flyers coach Sebastian Waser. The medical department works extra shifts, and the outsider role in the derby cannot be explained away.
