Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder led his squad to their first gold medal in EuroBasket since 1993, but he had some thoughts on the decision to name Turkey’s Ergin Ataman best coach of the tournament.</p><p>Germany defeated Turkey in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/which-teams-are-playing-in-eurobasket-final">EuroBasket final</a> on Sunday night, 88-83. Isaac Bonga led the way in scoring with 20 points for Germany while Franz Wagner added 18 points and eight rebounds. But it was Dennis Schroder who scored the final four points in clutch time to put the game away and give Germany the victory. In 34 minutes of action, Schroder finished with 16 points, and a game-high 12 assists.</p><p>Alperen Sengun led the way for Turkey with a game-high 28 points and three blocked shots. Cedi Osman poured in 23 points and Shane Larkin added 13 points and nine assists.</p><p>After the game, Schroder was named MVP of the 2025 EuroBasket, but was quick to call out the committee that voted Turkey’s head coach, Ergin Ataman, as the “Best Coach” of the tournament.</p><p>“Ataman, fuck out of here!” <a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/mehr-sport/basketballer-holen-den-sieg-in-riga-das-party-protokoll-unserer-europameister-68c73f277ecf6b1bfe3e515e#fromWall" rel="noopener">Schroder shouted</a>, according to German news outlet BILD. “Best Coach?

Turkey went 5-0 in group play, winning by a total of 100 points. That was a group that featured Nikola Jokic and Serbia as well as Kristaps Porzingis and host nation Latvia.</p><p>During the last FIBA World Ranking, Turkey was ranked as the 27th best team in the world while Germany sat at number three, Serbia two, and the United States one. For Turkey to reach the gold medal game is a win in itself, and the country clearly has a bright future with a 23-year old superstar in Sengun still being years away from his prime.</p><p>In the last three years, Germany won bronze in EuroBasket 2022, gold in World Cup 2023, and gold in EuroBasket 2025 while also losing the bronze medal game in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Schroder was named the MVP of both the World Cup in 2023 and this EuroBasket tournament.</p><p>In nine games during the 2025 EuroBasket, Dennis Schroder averaged 20.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 46.2 percent from the field, 32.8 percent from three, and 87.2 percent from the free throw line.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder and Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner spearheaded the effort, continuing Germany’s run of success on the international stage.</p><p>Schroder delivered a standout performance, finishing with 26 points, 12 assists and five rebounds in 31 minutes of action. He shot 6-for-15 from the field, 4-for-9 from three-point range and was perfect at the free throw line, converting all 10 attempts. Schroder’s efficiency was reflected in a team-high EFF of 29 and a plus/minus of +22, as he consistently made key plays to keep Germany in control.</p><p>Wagner added another strong showing to complement Schroder. The Magic forward posted 22 points, five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 32 minutes. Wagner shot 6-for-19 from the floor, including 3-for-8 from long distance, and converted seven of his nine free throws. He ended with an EFF of 14, helping stabilize Germany during pivotal stretches of the contest.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Germany beats Finland for a spot in the 2025 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/EuroBasket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#EuroBasket</a> Final 👏</p><p>Dennis Schroder:<br>26 PTS 6-of-15 FG<br>5 REBS 4-of-9 3PT<br>12 ASTS 10-of-10 FT</p><p>They wait on the winner of Turkey vs. Greece later today.<a href="https://twitter.com/courtside1891?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@courtside1891</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EuroBasket?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EuroBasket</a> <a href="https://t.co/r4zD4OJn3j">pic.twitter.com/r4zD4OJn3j</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1966530809332171260?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 12, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Dennis Schroder, Franz Wagner propel Germany to first EuroBasket Final in over 20 years</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Dennis-Schroder-17-drives-to-the-basket-while-being-defended-by-Orlando-Magic-forward-Franz-Wagner-22.jpg"><figcaption>© John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Germany also benefitted from additional depth. Magic forward Tristan da Silva, preparing for his second NBA season, chipped in 13 points, four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block. Da Silva made four of his eight field-goal attempts in 18 minutes and recorded an EFF of 16 with a plus/minus of +16. His contributions provided a crucial boost off the bench in a high-pressure matchup.</p><p>On Finland’s side, Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen led the team with 16 points, eight rebounds and an assist in 27 minutes. He shot 6-for-17 from the field but was unable to spark a decisive run for the Finnish side, who battled throughout but fell just short in the final minutes.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/eurobasket-news-franz-wagner-leads-germany-past-luka-doncic-slovenia-reach-semifinals">Germany’s journey to the EuroBasket 2025 Final</a> marks another milestone in what has been a consistent stretch of international achievements. The national team claimed third place at EuroBasket 2022 and won the FIBA Basketball World Cup in 2023. At the 2024 Olympics, Germany finished fourth, narrowly missing the podium.

One of the more notable players playing in the EuroBasket today is new Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder, who’s representing Germany as their captain. Unfortunately, it seems like some of the disrespect that plagued  some players in the States have followed them in Europe.</p><p>During Germany’s game against Lithuania, two fans were kicked out after racially abusing players during the game. The German Basketball Association kicked both fans. FIBA later identified one fan via video football and banned said fan from attending any more games during this year’s EuroBasket.</p><p>After the game, Schroder <a href="https://www.espn.com/olympics/basketball/story/_/id/46112422/germany-dennis-schroder-target-racial-abuse-eurobasket">called out the fans</a> who participated in the racial abuse. The Kings guard said that those actions have no place in their sport.</p><p>“Making monkey noises, that’s something I don’t respect,” Schröder told reporters in German after the game, per ESPN. “No matter what status, insults, that’s all fine. But racism simply doesn’t belong in this sport. That’s something that’s not OK.”</p><p>Germany’s head coach Alan Ibrahimagic also chimed in on the incident in question.</p><p>“I noticed that Dennis was very upset — and rightly so,” Ibrahimagic said. “Such things have no place in sports or competition. We hope this will calm down and can be resolved somehow.”</p><p>FIBA released a statement after the incident. “FIBA unequivocally condemns hate speech, discriminatory conduct and racist language in any form,” the group said. “Creating an inclusive, respectful and safe environment for players, teams, and fans remains a fundamental priority of our sport. FIBA has provided the relevant footage and information to local law enforcement authorities, who are continuing to investigate the matter.”</p><p>Schroder led Germany with 26 points in their dominant 107-88 win over Lithuania. The Germans, who won the 2023 FIBA World Cup with Schroder, are heading into the round of 16 with high expectations.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
