NBA Player Isaiah Hartenstein Invests in German Basketball Club Ratiopharm Ulm

The Oklahoma City Thunder center acquires up to 10% ownership of the 2023 German Bundesliga champions through his investment group.

Isaiah Hartenstein, a German NBA player for the Oklahoma City Thunder, has joined the ownership group of Ratiopharm Ulm, a top German basketball club.
Hartenstein's investment group, the Hartenstein Group, which includes his father and former Ulm player Adam Hess, will acquire up to 10% of the club's shares.
Ratiopharm Ulm, the 2023 German Bundesliga champions, is known for developing young talent and maintaining a competitive team in the league.
Hartenstein cited the club's strong player development and competitive structure as key reasons for his investment, reflecting his desire to support basketball growth in Germany.
This move follows a trend of German NBA players investing in their home country's basketball, as Dennis Schroder made a similar investment in 2020.
