He signed a contract that will keep him in Monaco until the end of 2025-26 season.

Per Basketnews sources, Monaco did not submit the highest financial offer, as Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens put forth the most lucrative proposal.

Another mid-table EuroLeague club also expressed interest and was prepared to make a significant offer, per sources.

Theis also received offers from NBA teams but was seeking a situation where he could play a larger role, sources tell BasketNews.

Before leaving for the NBA to join Boston Celtics, Daniel Theis spent three seasons with Brose Bamberg in Germany, where he made his debut in the Euroleague.

Over eight NBA seasons, he appeared in 411 games for the Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, and New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 7.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 18.8 minutes per game.
