Reyer registered an 81-80 road loss at ratiopharm Ulm. Allerik Freeman paced Reyer with 19 points and 6 assists, Amedeo Tessitori added 12 points and Mitchell Watt had 10 for Reyer, which had the game's final possession. Jayson Granger tried a desperation midcourt shot that was off the mark. After Granger gave Reyer a 70-72 edge, a 10-3 run allowed Ulm to take the lead for good. Heading into Round 2, Reyer relies on Watt and Freeman to keep leading the way and expects veteran players like Marco Spissu and Michael Bramos to take a step forward, especially on offense.

Kabengele explodes to the rim! Magic Moment
Bourg had a much more pleasant season debut, edging U-BT Cluj-Napoca 88-85 at home. James Palmer had a strong EuroCup debut with 17 points, 5 rebounds and a PIR of 20. EuroCup veteran Pierre Pelos added 16 points while three other players – Franck Massenat, Isiaha Mike and Jordan Floyd – each had 10 in a winning effort. In Round 2, Bourg relies on Massenat, Axel Julien and Hugo Benitez, the team's playmakers, to set the right game tempo against Reyer, which excels in the half court. After its initial loss, Reyer has more pressure and that could work in Bourg's favor, too.
