The world champion had a particularly good Sunday: First, his Basketball Lions Braunschweig, in which he is a partner, won in the Easycredit BBL against the top favorites FC Bayern with 83:81.
Then Schröder himself won an impressive victory: against the San Antonio Spurs with number 1 pick Victor Wembanyama (19), the German won the NBA with his Toronto Raptors 123:116 after overtime.
Basketball: Dennis Schröder celebrates victory with Toronto against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs – and Braunschweig victory against Bayern!
The World Cup MVP celebrated his double victory on Instagram, writing in a post in his story: “Good day! My team in Germany won and we won! I love it!”
He had previously shared the final score from the BBL with his 2.6 million followers to celebrate the victory for the Braunschweig history books: “Historic night! First win in history against Munich at home!” And further: “I would like to thank every single person who supported.”
As sensational as his Lions’ victory in the BBL was, the Raptors’ success against the Spurs was just as hard-fought. At one point the Canadian team was already 22 points behind, but Schröder in particular kept his team in the game. In the end, the German national team captain had 24 points and six assists.

The Raptors’ best scorer was Scottie Barnes with 30 points, while Keldon Johnson scored 26 points for the Spurs. Prodigy Wembanyama collected 20 points, nine rebounds and five blocks.
“We are too inconsistent, I think. Our path to success is always when we defend well and play quickly. We didn’t do that in the first half,” Schröder told the German Press Agency. “In the second half we simply played more aggressively than them and brought the energy.”
