Daniel Theis is expected to remain with AS Monaco for at least the 2025-26 season, according to sources reported by BasketNews. Despite strong EuroLeague interest and inquiries about a potential sale, Monaco has declined to part with the 33-year-old German center, viewing him as a cornerstone of their project, especially after his NBA exit clause expired on July 15.
Impressive EuroLeague Impact
Since joining Monaco midseason in Round 27, Theis has made a significant mark, averaging 11.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.7 blocks, and 12.6 PIR in 23 minutes per game. His standout performances include a season-high 22 points against Barcelona in the EuroLeague Playoffs and four consecutive 20+ PIR games against Paris, Maccabi, Fenerbahçe, and Žalgiris, culminating in 12 points and 8 rebounds in the EuroLeague title game.
Strategic Importance to Monaco’s Roster
Theis’ all-around versatility and efficient shooting (60% from two, 42% from three) have solidified his role as a top center in the EuroLeague. With negotiations underway for a new deal extending beyond 2026, Monaco aims to leverage his NBA-honed skills—gleaned from 411 games across multiple teams—to maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming season.
