Unsigned free agent and Boston Celtics alumnus Dennis Schroder had an excellent game with his German National Team in a World Cup group stage qualifying game against Luke Doncic’s Slovenian National Team on Saturday.
Schroder, the former Boston floor general, put up 17 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals in the 90-71 win.
Schroder managed all of that in 27 minutes of floor time, during which he committed three turnovers and one foul. He shot 40% from the field overall and a sizzling 4-of-9 from 3-point range, hitting all three of his attempts from the charity stripe as well.
Fellow Celtics alumni big men Daniel Theis and Moritz Wagner did not suit up in the contest. Both are questionable for EuroBasket play with injuries that have had them on the bench.

On the other side of the court, Zoran Dragic — brother of Goran — scored a single basket for 2 points, a board and a steal.
Zoran never suited up for Boston but was briefly a member of the organization after being included in a deal shortly before being waived in 2015.
