FC Bayern Munich basketball remained undefeated in the German League with a 96-81 victory over Brose Bamberg. Andreas Obst and Isiaha Mike led the way with 21 and 20 points, respectively. However, Stefan Jovic seemed to have hurt his ankle late in the game and his availability for Tuesday's EuroLeague clash with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan. Jovic finished with 8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, while Vladimir Lucic added 11 points and Oscar de Silva had 10. Cobe Williams led Bamberg with 21 points.
Bayern scored the game's first 7 points and behind Mike's early 10 points led 29-10 before settling for a 32-13 cushion after 10 minutes. The margin reached the 20s before Bamberg fought back with 11 unanswered points to get within 52-42 at halftime. Bamberg came out hot for the third quarter and rallied to within 66-61. Shots from Obst and Niels Giffey kept Bayern ahead 72-63 entering the final stanza. The hosts took charge in the fourth to put the game out of reach and the celebrations began when Mike put his team up 88-71. Only Jovic's late injury put a damper on the evening.
After the game, Coach Gordon Herbert said: "We still don’t know anything about Stefan’s injury. But obviously it didn’t look good."
