ALBA Berlin signs Julius Böhmer to two‑year deal in the BBL

What happened?

ALBA Berlin announced on Tuesday that it has signed 24‑year‑old Julius Böhmer from BG Göttingen to a two‑year contract. The move was confirmed by sports director Himar Ojeda, who highlighted that Böhmer is returning to the BBL after a season in the ProA. In his last ProA campaign he averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

Why does it matter for ALBA Berlin?

The capital club already added Jordan Ford as its first summer signing. With Böhmer the roster now gains depth at the guard position and a versatile player who can operate both on the perimeter and in pick‑and‑roll situations. Ojeda said he values Böhmer’s basketball IQ and his ability to read the game. After a long injury that sidelined him for the entire 2024/25 season, he is expected to see regular minutes again.

What does Böhmer’s career look like?

Böhmer spent four years with the Würzburg Baskets, gaining his first BBL experience. He then moved to the ProA, where he posted consistent numbers in the 2025/26 season. His stats of 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists reflect a balanced profile that combines scoring with playmaking. Returning to the top German league is seen as an opportunity to boost ALBA’s offensive options.

What does this mean for the upcoming season?

ALBA Berlin plans to integrate Böhmer into the rotation, especially in games that require extra perimeter shooting. His presence could make the team more flexible in fast‑break attacks and pick‑and‑roll executions. Head coach Aíto García Reneses will likely test him in the early quarters to assess his form after the injury. If he replicates his ProA production, he could become a key piece for the playoff push.

How did the public react?

Fans and analysts welcomed the return of a known German talent to the BBL. Social media praised the decision to sign a young yet experienced guard who has already performed at the highest level. Expectations are high, as ALBA Berlin aims for another championship and needs deep bench options to manage the long season’s workload.
