Heidelberg (dpa/lsw) - Albert Kuppe and Courtney Stockard are retiring from their professional careers and will not be supporting the MLP Academics Heidelberg in the Bundesliga in the coming season. Kuppe gave mental and physical reasons for his decision, as the Heidelberger announced on Monday.
Stockard leaves the Academics of his own volition. The 27-year-old was out last season after heart surgery. His fear of a possible cardiological incident is said to be too great, the message said. Stockard had already completed the preparation under new coach Joonas Iisalo, which had just started the previous week.
