Nets' Dennis Schroder: Game-high 10 assists in loss
Rotowire
Schroder put up 13 points (3-15 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and one block across 17 minutes in Germany's 92-88 exhibition game loss to the United States on Monday.
Schroder produced a rough showing from the field in Monday's loss to Team USA. However, the 30-year-old did tally a game-high 10 assists as Germany kept the exhibition match close. Schroder and Franz Wagner will aim to lead the squad to Olympic success in Paris, and Germany's ability to hang with Team USA bodes well for their Olympic hopes, especially after winning the FIBA Basketball World Cup for the first time in 2023.

Schroder (Achilles) posted 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal across 27 minutes in Germany's 70-65 win over France on Monday.
Schroder missed the final two games of the Nets' season due to an Achilles injury. In 2023-24, he averaged 14.6 points, 6.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 32.0 minutes per game. However, the 30-year-old's injury seems to no longer be a concern as Germany prepares for the Olympic Games in Paris. Through two preparation games, the veteran point guard is averaging 20.0 points, 5.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds across 27.5 minutes. Schroder and Germany will officially begin the games by facing off against Japan on July 27.
Nets interim head coach Kevin Ollie said that Schroder (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks and Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Schroder missed only one game this season to this point, which came after he was traded from Toronto to Brooklyn at the deadline. With the Nets, the veteran guard averaged 14.6 points, 6.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 32.0 minutes per game. Schroder has one year remaining on his current deal, which he signed with the Raptors ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
