The German Basketball Federation reported that two people were identified as alleged perpetrators of the insults and were expelled from the sports venue in Tampere, Finland.According to the dpa news agency, the German captain, who is black, heard the insults while heading to the locker room.You can insult me, but monkey noises are something I don’t respect or accept. Racism has no place in this sport.

Schroder, who plays for the Sacramento Kings of the NBA, led the game with 26 points, contributing to Germany’s third consecutive victory in the group stage. Ibrahimagic was in charge of the team in place of Alex Mumbru, who was ill, for the third consecutive game in the EuroBasket.I noticed that Dennis was very upset, and rightly so. These things have no place in sport or competition. We hope this will calm down and can be resolved somehow.
