Led by long-time NBA guard Dennis Schroder, Germany has officially announced the extended roster of 16 players who will fight for medals in the Paris Olympics. The team is stacked with familiar faces, including all 12 who triumphed at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. The Wagner brothers, Daniel Theis, Andreas Obst, and others are all back for another shot at glory. The roster boasts 4 NBA players and 10 EuroLeague athletes. The extended roster lacks New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein and Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber. Hartenstein previously expressed Olympic aspirations with the German national team but hinted at uncertainty about being selected: “I don’t think I’ll be invited to the Olympics under any circumstances.” Meanwhile, Kleber had a conflict with team captain Schroder last summer. -via BasketNews / June 4, 2024
