Basketball: Bad luck with injuries: Ulm basketball players seek support from the USA

A week and a half left for the Bundesliga basketball club Ratofarm Ulm To get back in shape at the start of the season. But it is not so easy this year. New coach, team changes – and above all, a number of injured players. Sagaba Konate, Nicholas Pretzel and Tommy Klipsch have knee problems, while Robin Kristen has a rib injury. And the return of Philip Herkenhof after a long injury planned only for the New Year. For this very reason, Ulm stepped up his game again and signed American Devin Robinson, a position over two meters high.

“Out of the four pros in fourth and fifth place, only one player, Josh Hawley, has been able to play in the past two weeks. Although the boys with David Fox and Antonio Dorn have recently shown promising performance, security is essential due to the many matches in the October,” sports director Thorsten Lepinath explains. So the 27-year-old was given a fixed-term contract.

Recently, Robinson was a contractor in Puerto Rico and Taiwan

He was recently a contractor in Puerto Rico and Taiwan. Prior to that, the University of Florida College graduate briefly participated in the North American Professional League NBA With the Washington Wizards and in the G-League of the Wizards farm team. He also spent four summers with the NBA Summer League. There, too, shine with points and rebounds. In 2018, Robinson was ranked among the top scorers in Las Vegas.

The American athlete can be used in many ways. He was already expected on Wednesday with his girlfriend Emily at the orange campus in New Ulm. Sports Director Lipnath says: “Devin is a fantastic jumper, with great rebounding qualities and a game-changing attacking game. Another talented player who decided to use Ratiopharm Ulm as a springboard for a European career.”
