- Daniel Theis has been benched for 60 consecutive minutes in two Maccabi Tel Aviv EuroLeague games.
- Theis played only in the first half of the game against Crvena Zvezda.
- The German national team center did not play at all in the game against Paris.
- Theis was a significant summer acquisition for Maccabi Tel Aviv.
- The reduction in playing time is reportedly a professional decision.
Daniel Theis, a significant summer acquisition for Maccabi Tel Aviv, has seen a dramatic decrease in playing time, failing to log any minutes in two consecutive EuroLeague games. Theis, who was expected to be a key player, averaged nearly 20 minutes per game earlier in the season. However, in the recent game against Crvena Zvezda, he played only 9:41 minutes, all in the first half, and did not play at all in the second. This trend continued in the subsequent game against Paris, where the German national team center remained on the bench for the entire duration, accumulating 60 consecutive minutes without playing.
While Theis did suffer an injury earlier in the season, there has been no reported aggravation that would explain this significant reduction in playing time. The current situation appears to be a professional decision by the team's coaching staff.
