Dennis Schroder posted his second consecutive double-double as Germany faced Croatia in the DBB Supercup final in Hamburg. Germany captured the title with a 96-87 victory, with Schroder contributing 10 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and three steals despite shooting 3-of-16 from the field.
Daniel Theis has not completely ruled out finishing his career alongside Dennis Schröder in Braunschweig, although such a move is not currently part of his plans. “If Dennis plays in Braunschweig again, I’ll probably already be retired,” Theis told Braunschweiger Zeitung. “Everyone who knows Dennis knows what he’s like. I feel like he’ll play for the national team until he’s 40.” The former NBA center believes Schröder will eventually end his career with his hometown club: “In the end, he’ll play in Braunschweig. If it happens earlier and he calls me, and maybe contacts a few other people, then we can talk about it.”

Isaiah Hartenstein will not play for Germany this summer after suffering an ankle injury, the German Basketball Federation announced. Following discussions with his NBA team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, all parties agreed that the 2.13-metre centre should not risk aggravating the injury.
But in the latest press release by the German Basketball Federation (DBB), it was revealed that Isaiah Hartenstein won't be able to play for his country this summer. This development comes as a significant blow to the team's frontcourt depth ahead of their crucial qualifying matches. Hartenstein suffered an ankle injury, and after extensive consultations with the medical staff of the Oklahoma City Thunder, it was decided that it is in his best interest to focus on rehabilitation this summer.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward-center Isaiah Hartenstein is back with Germany’s senior national team, making it clear that his return is about far more than just adding another chapter to his international career. After more than eight years away from the program, the 28-year-old big is excited to represent Germany once again, having last worn the national team jersey back in February 2018 during a FIBA World Cup 2019 Qualifiers matchup against Georgia. “I’m really happy,” he stated in a recent interview with German media outlet Basketball World. “I actually wanted to play for the last two years.”

Germany will bring significant top-level experience into the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualifiers window. Head coach Alex Mumbru has named a 15-man roster that includes three NBA players and seven players currently representing EuroLeague clubs, giving the reigning world and European champions one of the strongest squads of the August window. The NBA contingent is headlined by Dennis Schroder of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Isaiah Hartenstein of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Tristan da Silva of the Orlando Magic.
For the second straight year, the Magic received the NBA‘s team international strategy award as part of the league’s team partnership and ticket sales & service awards for the 2025-26 season, it was announced Tuesday afternoon. The award “recognizes robust, data-driven programs that support partner positioning and grow the team brand globally or in a specific international region,” according to the league.
After earning the league-wide recognition last year, the Magic executed an extensive strategy in Germany that extended far beyond Orlando‘s regular-season game against the Grizzlies in Berlin. The multi-phase approach included “an in-market summer tour, an immersive fan hub called ‘Magic Kiez,’ youth basketball clinics, business summits, watch parties, and integrated activations with multiple partners across Germany,” the team said.
