Basketball world champion Dennis Schröder is moving from the Toronto Raptors to the Brooklyn Nets within the North American professional league NBA.
The Braunschweiger confirmed corresponding reports from US media on Thursday: “Yes that is correct”said Schröder.
The Nets would have “good players to play with”. He hopes “That Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas aren’t too mad at me about the World Cup”. The two US national players had lost to Germany in the semifinals with the USA at the World Cup.
Seventh NBA team for Schröder
The Nets are Schröder’s seventh team in the NBA. He started his career with the Atlanta Hawks. He then played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics, the Houston Rockets, again for the Lakers and, since the beginning of the season, for the Toronto Raptors in Canada.
In the Eastern Conference table, the Nets are just ahead of the Raptors and are fighting for participation in the playoffs.
