National team captain Dennis Schröder is expected to travel to the USA this week and start training with the NBA club Los Angeles Lakers.
“The Lakers are doing my visa, it took ten to 14 days. I think I can pick it up in Frankfurt tomorrow and fly on Wednesday,” said the basketball pro during the break in the Bundesliga game between his Löwen Braunschweig and the Würzburg Baskets at “MagentaSport “. Schröder is the main shareholder of Niedersachsen.
The 29-year-old signed with his former club shortly before winning the European Championship bronze medal, but had to stay in Germany longer than originally planned because of the missing document.

He is constantly “in exchange with the players and all the coaches,” says Schröder: “We write what our goals are.”
Meanwhile, the point guard is not concerned with the great competition in the squad: “I know what I’ve done in the league for nine years, so I’m not worried.”
After returning to the Lakers, for whom he had already played in the 2020/21 season, Schröder wants to convince and absolutely “make something clear again. We can definitely tear something.”
