Germany's Dennis Schroder blasts, of all people, Maxi Kleber, leading to the Mavericks forward withdrawing from this summer's World Cup.
“If you didn’t commit — that was actually the message for all of us — then you won’t be there next year either.”Actually, the reason Kleber most cited for not playing in EuroBasket was that he missed 23 games in 2021-22 due to a variety of injuries, including an oblique strain and ankle issues. Unspoken, but certainly a factor, was that Kleber was negotiating. Schroder evidently missed that in his Kleber “research.
“You throw in the corner, you defend. You’re a pick-and-roll player. You’re not a Carmelo Anthony type of player. You don’t have to work on your game.”On Tuesday, the fallout from Schroder’s comments compelled Kleber and his agent to issue a statement, according to“My goals in playing basketball and representing Germany are to be 100% healthy and help the team win and be a good teammate.
“It is not my goal to destroy the good team chemistry of last summer. Nor do I want to become a source of distraction. Therefore, I have decided that it is best for everyone involved if I do not play.
