Germany reduced the roster from the initial 18 players to 14 names, as coach Gordon Herbert wrote off four.
We are getting closer to the biggest basketball event. The teams are slowly being completed and the final preparations for the World Cup are starting. One of the teams that is currently closest to the start is Germany.
Namely, their roster currently has 14 names, given that coach Herbert wrote off a quartet of basketball players. Louis Olinde, Christian Sengfelder, Jonas Wohlfahrt-Bottermann, and Jonas Mattisseck were cut, and now it is up to the coach to cross out two more names before the start of the World Cup.
In the next 19 days, we will publish articles about all previous world cups.
And we start with the World Cup 1950.
