Before the NBA duel: Schröder and Wagner win in lockstep
Another brilliant performance from Dennis Schröder, another victory for the Wagner brothers too: The German basketball stars remain on the road to success in the NBA. While national team captain Schröder put up a strong 29 points in his Brooklyn Nets’ 127:117 win against the Phoenix Suns, Franz Wagner led the Orlando Magic to their fourth win in a row. It was also the tenth success in the last eleven games for the team from Florida.
World champion Wagner contributed 21 points to Orlando’s 133:119 win against the Chicago Bulls, making him the third-best Magic thrower. His older brother Moritz had 15 points, German rookie Tristan da Silva had 8.
Meanwhile, Schröder celebrated his third win in a row with his Nets; they improved their record to nine wins and ten defeats. We can now look forward to Saturday night with excitement, when Schröder and Brooklyn welcome the Orlando team and the NBA duel between the German world champions takes place.
The evening was once again less successful for Daniel Theis. The German had already suffered defeat number 15 of the season in the 19th game with his New Orleans Pelicans, 93:119 against the Toronto Raptors. Theis had four points and six rebounds. The Pelicans are in last place in the Western Conference after six defeats in a row.
Things went much better for Maximilian Kleber’s Dallas Mavericks. In the 129:114 win against the New York Knicks, the German played 24 minutes and had one point and one rebound.
NBA professional Kleber confirms: No return to the national team
NBA professional Maxi Kleber will not return to the German national basketball team under the new national coach Alex Mumbru. The Dallas Mavericks player said in an interview with the “Augsburger Allgemeine” that he knew Mumbru, but had not spoken to him yet. “For me, the topic of the national team is finally over. “Therefore there will be no return,” affirmed the 32-year-old center.
Kleber skipped the World Cup last year after disagreements with captain Dennis Schröder. As a result, the Würzburg native also missed out on a German team winning the title for the first time under then-national coach Gordon Herbert. Since then, after 30 international matches, he has not played for the German Basketball Association (DBB).
At the Olympic Games in Paris, world champions Germany failed in the quarter-finals against France. Kleber said he watched the German team’s games as a fan. “Overall, it’s ultimately about the sport of basketball continuing to grow in Germany. And the Olympic Games, where you can watch all the matches on television, are a great event,” said the NBA professional. He also knows many of the players or is friends with them, so it’s a lot of fun to watch them and keep your fingers crossed.”
NHL: Seider assist in overtime – Stützle also strong
Moritz Seider achieved his next victory in the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings. The German ice hockey professional scored the 2-1 winning goal for his team in the fourth minute of extra time and thus played a decisive role in the narrow success against the Calgary Flames. For Seider it was the 13th goal involvement of the season.
In the Atlantic Division, Detroit remains just ahead of Tim Stützle’s Ottawa Senators, who won 4-3 against the San Jose Sharks. Striker Stützle prepared three goals. Nico Sturm had no luck with his only shot on goal for the Sharks.
Lukas Reichel scored a 6-2 win with the Chicago Blackhawks against the Dallas Stars, while striker John-Jason Peterka lost 0-1 with the Buffalo Sabers against the Minnesota Wild. Meanwhile, national goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer was not used again in the Seattle Kraken’s 2:5 defeat against the Anaheim Ducks.
