While Dennis Schroder flourishes in the Raptors game, his teammate in selection Daniel Theis do not play. The German world champion was not called up last night against the Hornets.
It was a 6th DNP (“Did Not Play”) in a row for him, who has therefore not yet entered play once this season. A situation that is surprising to say the least considering his international summer.
With his 11 points and 5 rebounds on average in Asia, including 21 points against “Team USA”, he was one of the driving forces in Germany’s gold medal.
“ It’s obvious that after a great summer, I’m not happy with the situation I find myself in now. I want to play and use all the good things of summer for the season “, don’t hide the inside of 31 years old, who is reaching the end of his contract ($9 million this season). The Pacers have a “team option” on his contract for the following year.
Seven matches played since his arrival at Indiana…
His time in Indiana turned into a bad experience. He was sent there by the Celtics in the summer of 2022, as part of the exchange organized around Malcolm Brogdon. The inside had to be operated on immediately, to treat his right knee. Result: he was only able to play seven matches last season.
“ There is communication, but it is also the coach’s decision. I stand ready, I do what I have to do and what happens will happen », continues the German, aware of the length of the season.
Rick Carlisle has so far preferred to use a group of younger interiors, with Myles Turner as the starter, then Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson as replacements.
In the event of movement, or even a buyout, there is no doubt that teams interested in his experience and warrior profile should come forward. Why not the Celtics, the team he started with and experienced the most stability, who find themselves a little just below the rim? “ I learned to never say never. Obviously, I’m open to it. I want to play and be part of the team, which is the most important thing. »
