Germany wins EuroBasket bronze vs. Poland with boost from Boston Celtics alum Dennis Schroder

Fellow Boston alum Daniel Theis also played a major role in Germany beating Poland for bronze.

Germany won the European Basketball Championship bronze medal with an 82-69 victory over Poland on Sunday. The win was driven by former Boston Celtic Dennis Schroder.

The German floor general had another excellent game, putting up 26 points, a rebound, 6 assists and a steal in just under 33 minutes of floor time. Schroder shot a very good 7-of-10 from the field, 4-of-7 from 3 and 8-of-9 from the charity stripe. Fellow former Celtic Daniel Theis added 9 points, 6 boards, an assist and as many steals in the win, shooting a more modest 3-of-7 from the field, 1-of-2 from deep and 2-of-3 from the line.

The victory gives Germany its first EuroBasket medal since 2005, when it won silver.

“That’s pretty tough, (because) we were so close to this bronze,” said Poland’s leading scorer Michal Sokolowski via Eurohoops.

In the knockout round of the 2022 European Basketball Championship (better known as the EuroBasket), Boston Celtics big man alum Guerschon Yabusele led an absolute shellacking of Poland for France.

Stashed Celtics guard Yam Madar gets 17 points vs. Poland with Israel in EuroBasket play

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar had one of his best games yet in EuroBasket play for the Israeli National Team, but it was not enough to beat Poland.

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar had one of his best games yet in EuroBasket play for the Israeli National Team, but it was not enough to beat the Polish National Team, which won 85-76 on Monday.

The Beit Dagan native put up 17 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block in the loss. He shot 5-of-8 from the field overall, a sizzling 2-of-3 from beyond the arc and 5-of-5 from the charity stripe in slightly less than 21 minutes of floor time. Madar committed one turnover but no personal fouls for one of his most complete contests at this level.

Even so, Israel needed more than what Madar alone could provide. It fell to 2-1 in Group D play. Poland seized the top spot in the group with Israel second.
