Overview
- Bayern fell 72–82 at home in Pesic’s debut, extending their EuroLeague losing streak to nine and leaving them at 5 wins from 18 games.
- Club president Herbert Hainer said unacceptable EuroLeague results drove the decision to dismiss Gordon Herbert and appoint Pesic for the remainder of the season.
- Pesic said the team must get out of its comfort zone and play with greater defensive physicality, noting they committed only three fouls in the fourth quarter.
- Outgoing executive Marko Pesic said he was not involved in the hire and urged player accountability, saying he has not seen anyone take a step forward this season.
- Bayern visit Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Friday before hosting Maccabi Tel Aviv in the EuroLeague on January 2 in Munich.
