Germany defeated Lithuania as Dennis Schroder and Franz Wagner led the charge, while a Lithuanian fan was banned for racist abuse. CCTV identified the offender; FIBA condemned hate speech and vowed to bolster security. Germany moved to 3-0 in Group B and into the knockout rounds. The duo’s influence continues to shape fantasy expectations for Schroder’s playmaking and Wagner’s scoring as the field tightens.

Schroder’s leadership and Wagner’s versatility anchor Germany’s fantasy floor, with the rotation likely offering streaming value in favorable matchups. The incident underscores the tournament’s priority on safe, respectful play, potentially fueling a focused, high-intensity German side as the knockout stage approaches.

Dennis Schroder poured in 26 as Germany beat Lithuania 107-88 at EuroBasket, pushing their group record to 3-0. Two perpetrators were ejected after racist noises aimed at him. Schroder voiced that monkey noises have no place in sport, and interim coach Alan Ibrahimagic stressed that such conduct cannot be tolerated as the team pressed on.

Schroder’s NBA value remains relevant as he balances EuroBasket duties with his Sacramento Kings role. The win showcased Germany’s depth beyond its star and underscored the resilience of a squad navigating an emotional incident while pursuing a deep tournament run.

Fantasy watchers should note Schroder’s continued scoring punch and the team’s depth, which could translate into steady fantasy value if his tournament form carries over into the NBA schedule.

Malik Monk trade chatter around Sacramento cooled as the Kings aren’t actively shopping him and weigh paths to open backcourt minutes for Russell Westbrook without moving Monk. Monk’s $18.8 million cap hit this season complicates anything, while Westbrook could land at veteran minimum if a path opens in SAC.

Kuminga’s name surfaced in a potential sign-and-trade that never materialized, leaving Monk in place to anchor guard depth. Sacramento eyes frontcourt help and roster flexibility ahead of training camp, with Sabonis and LaVine’s futures cited as ongoing questions. In short, the market may heat up again at camp, but for now Monk remains a Kings asset and Westbrook remains a possible alternative rather than a swap centerpiece.
