Basketball World Champion Daniel Theis Joins AS Monaco After NBA Stint

The German center signs a contract through 2025/26, marking his return to European basketball after nearly eight years in the NBA.

Daniel Theis, a 32-year-old German basketball player and 2023 World Champion, has signed with AS Monaco in the Euroleague.
Theis returns to Europe after a nearly eight-year career in the NBA, where he played for teams including the Boston Celtics and New Orleans Pelicans.
His move follows a recent trade from the Pelicans to the Oklahoma City Thunder, which resulted in his contract being terminated.
Theis expressed excitement about joining Monaco, citing the team's strong Euroleague performance and his desire to compete for a championship.
His return to Europe enables him to rejoin the German national team for upcoming EuroBasket qualification games, reaffirming his commitment to international play.
