Struggling Bayern (9-14) will look to push closer to the top ten with a visit from Baskonia (12-11), which dropped out of the playoff places after scoring a season-low 62 points in a home loss to Valencia last week.
Game Notes: Bayern vs. Baskonia



Bayern took a 68-76 victory when the teams met in Vitoria in October, helped by 14 points from Carsen Edwards and a defense that held Baskonia sharpshooter Markus Howard to 4 points. Howard also had a difficult game last week, making just 3 of his 14 field goal attempts, so he’ll be looking to get back to get back on track in Round 24, having averaged 18.6 points per game this season. Three of the league’s top five rebounders meet in the paint as Serge Ibaka (6.8 rebounds per game) confronts Chima Moneke (7.3 rpg) and Tadas Sedekerskis (7.2 rpg).
- In Round 3, Bayern beat Baskonia 68-76 with Nick Weiler-Babb collecting a career-high 11 rebounds.
- In Bayern's 77-84 triumph in Vitoria-Gasteiz in January 2022, Weiler-Babb dished a career-high 8 assists.
- Bayern forward Vladimir Lucic had a career-high and club-record 14 rebounds in a home loss against Baskonia in December 2021.
- Bayern head coach Pablo Laso spent the bulk of his playing career in his hometown of Vitoria-Gasteiz with Baskonia in the 1990s. He helped lead the club to its first trophy, the 1995 Copa del Rey, as well as to back-to-back Saporta Cup final appearances.
- Baskonia forward Dani Diez played under Coach Laso at Real Madrid, first in the 2011-12 and again in the 2013-14 season. Together they reached the 2014 championship game.
- Bayern's Elias Harris grabbed a career-high 6 rebounds playing for Brose Bamberg against Baskonia in February 2016.
