Basketball league is 6th the most watched league in Germany and 4th by sport discipline after soccer, ice hockey and handball. By league turnover could reach 2nd place in near future with two teams in Euroleague.

Have they found any shooters? Are they shaped like chicken nuggets?

Yes they are and no they havent, just an unusually good night. Thanasis had 14 points, probably tells you all you need to know
Papanikolaou was 6/6 from 3. They also naturalised Thomas Walkup who is built like a brick **** house but can't shoot, and even he made 2 threes.

I hear about Biathlon all the time, and I kind off know what it is, but not exactly.

Sorry but that wiki chart actually proves exactly how unpopular the game is. "6th most watched league" just refers to the amount of fans that attend individual games. Basketball doesn't even have as much fans as the most popular 4th league soccer teams https://www.reviersport.de/fussball/regionalligawest-2122-zuschauer.html
The 4th league is officially and amateur league.
"4th sport by discipline" simply discards the fact that individual sports are insanely popular in Germany too. Therefore, some of these positive conclusions are definitely flawed.

basically thats skiing on the flat (lets say "inline skating in the snow using ski") and after each round you have to shoot targets. for each miss you get a time penalty or must run penalty laps.

Yes, thats the thing, I would say it is pretty popular, I do find it stunning that there would be person who havent even heard of Biathlon. I mean popular the same way gymnastics is popular, I know its a thing and we watched it number of times, but not like athletes themselves are stars, they aren't. We did have decent Biathlon performers, but I never really knew them at all.

The actual quote was not nearly as definitive as that.
But it does sounds like he’s going to try to slowly ramp up his workload with the intention of trying to play at the World Cup.
Team Canada will be monitoring his workload in consultation with the Nuggets and he could still pull out if it seems detrimental to his health or NBA season.
