Daniel Theis continues to make a significant impact in the EuroBasket tournament, leading Germany with strong performances in the knockout rounds.
Defeating Finland in the semifinals, Germany is primed to face Turkey in the championship match. While not as high-profile as fellow German stars Franz Wagner and Dennis Schroder, Theis has been a key player for his national team.
In the recent game, Theis impressed with a double-double, scoring 10 points and securing 11 rebounds, showcasing his prowess on the court. His standout performance was further highlighted by a remarkable plus-minus of 15, second only to Schroder among the German squad.
The quarterfinals also saw Theis excel, contributing 15 points, nine rebounds, along with a block and a steal. His presence on the court proved invaluable for Germany, emerging as their third-highest scorer and leading in plus-minus.
Throughout the tournament, Theis, a former EuroLeague Defensive Player of the Year, has underscored his defensive prowess by ranking seventh in blocks, solidifying his reputation as a defensive stalwart.
During his eight-year NBA career, Theis spent five seasons with the Boston Celtics, starting 112 games and averaging 7.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks. Despite moving between teams in recent seasons, Theis’s performance in EuroBasket reaffirms his basketball acumen and versatility on the court.
