Maxi Kleber will not be able to play in the national team again. Furthermore, Dennis Schröder continues his impressive form. All update news.
Don’t wear Glue in Germany anymore
Maximilian Kleber turned his back on the national team. He assured “Augsburger Allgemeine”: “For me, the subject of the national team is over. So there is no going back.”
After a dispute between Dennis Schröder and Kleber in 2023, the forward canceled the home European Championships. The reason is the lack of commitment that Schröder criticizes. Despite an apology from the DBB captain, the Maverick decided not to participate in the Olympics and now also against the future of the German squad.
But there is no bad blood between Kleber and the German team. “Because I know a lot of the guys or are friends with them, it’s really fun to watch them and keep my fingers crossed,” he added.
Schröder continues to be in top form
Dennis Schröder and the Brooklyn Nets remain victorious. Contrary to the franchise’s expectations, the team won tirelessly. And that is mainly due to a stronger Schröder, who was once again a decisive factor in the victory with 29 points in the 127:117 victory over the Phoenix Suns. “I’m very proud of my team,” the Nets leader praised his team.
Another reason for the victory was Tyrese Martin, who scored a career-high 30 points. His previous best was six points. In doing so, he stepped into the offense for players Cam Thomas, Nix Claxton and Noah Clowney who were out with injuries.
It will be interesting to see how long the front office watches the success of their own squad. The Nets are deep in a rebuild and need losses to have a chance to promise young stars in the upcoming draft. Sometimes there is a chance to select the top talent Cooper Flagg, who is highly sought after by many franchises.
The NBA warns of burglaries
Anthony Edwards had clear words for his team. “I think we’re a little soft inside as a team. We don’t talk to each other. Just a bunch of little kids,” said the Minnesota Timberwolves superstar in the dressing room, according to journalist Jon Krawczynski.
Edwards specifically criticized the cooperation within the team. When they win they are very euphoric and when they don’t do well there is negative energy.
Despite the surprising trade that sent superstar Karl-Anthony Towns to New York for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, the demands on Edwards’ team remain high — expectations they have yet to meet with a record. which is eight wins and ten losses.
Crowder of Kings
Jae Crowder is officially back in the NBA. The Sacramento Kings acquired the 34-year-old veteran to further strengthen their frontcourt. Exactly what his contract terms will look like is still unknown. In his first game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he was allowed to start right away. The forward scored eight points in 27 minutes and collected four rebounds.
Crowder has been under contract with the Milwaukee Bucks for the past two seasons and is still a free agent. His new team is currently struggling with various injuries, which also explains his late signing. Trey Lyles and DeMar DeRozan have been out for a few weeks, creating a shortage at the forward position. People need to close this gap.
Curry injury update
Stephen Curry is injured again. “His knees are giving him problems,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. But you don’t have to worry about the curry. “His MRI was negative. I think he will be available again on Saturday,” added the 59-year-old.
The Golden State Warriors had to admit defeat 101:105 in the big game against the Oklahoma City Thunder without their point guard. Their superstar missed the beginning of the season due to an ankle injury. When Curry is on the floor, he is averaging 22.4 points, grabbing 5.4 rebounds and dishing out 6.5 assists per game.
