Germany Prepares to Host Women’s Basketball World Cup Amid Injury Concerns

Injuries and three straight losses in warmups have not dimmed hopes for host team Germany at the Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin. Germany is making just its second World Cup appearance. The German team reached the second group stage on that occasion and will be aiming for a medal this time, though the absence of star player Satou Sabally is a major blow.
