In a thrilling turn of events, AS Monaco has reportedly clinched a deal with German center Daniel Theis, marking his return to European basketball after an eight-year stint in the NBA. According to sources from Basketnews, the contract will include a clause allowing him to return to the NBA should the opportunity arise.
Back to Europe
After 411 games in the NBA, Theis’s journey now takes him back to the EuroLeague, where fresh challenges await. Although the former New Orleans Pelican had his pick of offers from several teams, he’s eyeing a significant role in his next chapter. Monaco, with its picturesque backdrop, appears to be the ideal landing spot for Theis as he dives back into the high-stakes action of European basketball.
Monaco Over Financial Offers
In what might be a pivotal decision in his career, Theis reportedly turned down more lucrative financial packages from clubs like Panathinaikos. Despite monetary offers that might have been sweeter, the chance to make an impact in Monaco’s lineup proved to be the driving force behind his choice. Now, as the team sits in a solid fourth position in the EuroLeague, just three wins behind the top spot held by Olympiakos and Evan Fournier, Theis’s presence is set to be crucial in their pursuit of glory.
