A few weeks ago, Bayern Munich's American guard Nick Weiler-Babb had a horrifying fall in a game against Hamburg Towers after trying to finish a dunk. As a result, players quickly formed a circle around the injured player, while rescue workers rushed directly to the field, as Weiler-Babb was briefly unresponsive.

However, Bayern and the 26-year-old guard received some positive news. According to BasketNews sources, Weiler-Babb is back in individual training, but he still needs a few days to participate in practice with the whole team.

Bayern are struggling with an extremely tight schedule, having to play almost every two days. It would be reckless to let Weiler-Babb re-engage too early, so Bayern will take a slow approach, letting him recover at full strength before the final stretch of the season.

On that unfortunate day, when Weiller-Babb suffered an injury, he was carried off the court on a stretcher and transferred directly to the Munich hospital to determine if there was structural damage to the back, head, and neck area.

Fortunately, the doctors could not find any serious damage, and the American guard was released a short time later with a severe concussion.

Weiler-Babb's current season has been pretty solid, as averaging 5.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 8.2 PIR in 24 EuroLeague games.

With 1.3 steals per game, he is also an extremely active and attentive team defender who anticipates and intercepts passes.

So there's no question, especially for Bayern's basic defensive stability, that the whole team would benefit enormously from Weiler-Babb's return.

Furthermore, the former Ludwigsburg player clocked in the second-most minutes in the EuroLeague and has already brought a few games back to the South German side with his energy.
