With the score at 22-15 for the guests and almost 8 minutes remaining in the first half, the 26-year-old guard attempted a dunk.

To his bad luck, he slipped off the rim with his hands, landing head-first onto the floor. He laid unconscious and motionless for several minutes until he was carried out on a lounger.

Bayern Munich's rescuers and medics formed a line around him so that he was covered. The game was stopped for almost ten minutes and then resumed.

Bayern's sports director Daniele Baiesi told Magenta Sport that Weiler-Babb is able to move and that he has been transferred to the hospital for medical exams.
