Overview

• Germany’s players agreed on a clearly documented bonus framework that outlines fair performance payments for all tournament finishes.
• The agreement mandates matched prize money for the men’s and women’s national teams based on their final standings.
• Centre Isaiah Hartenstein pulled out of the EuroBasket squad to focus on Achilles tendon recovery and because he deemed national team pay insufficient to support his family.
• Captain Dennis Schröder is spearheading Germany’s preparations under coach Alex Mumbru in Malaga with a clear ambition to build on recent podium finishes and win a EuroBasket medal.
• Once the championship concludes, Schröder will join the Sacramento Kings for the upcoming NBA season after formalising his transfer.
