Germany Aims for Medal Without Sabally | Fayetteville News

Germany’s hosting the Women’s Basketball World Cup with high hopes despite shaky prep — missing star Satou Sabally due to concussion, key players sidelined, and three straight exhibition losses. But with WNBA stars returning, coach Olaf Lange is optimistic, especially about Nyara Sabally’s recovery. Point guard Alexis Peterson will lead the offense, while captain Marie Gülich’s return adds grit. Germany opens against Spain — a brutal seven-game losing streak — then faces Japan and Mali (expected win). Only bottom teams get eliminated; group winners go straight to quarters. Ticket sales already smash records — over 200K sold, final sold out — signaling a historic moment for women’s basketball in Germany.
