According to information from BasketNews, former AS Monaco center Daniel Theis (2.03 m, 34 years old) is in advanced negotiations to sign with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The arrival of the German world champion at ASVEL was never officially confirmed, though club president and coach Tony Parker had acknowledged the potential move in an interview with L'Equipe in late June. However, the budget of the Villeurbanne-based club has since been significantly reduced. This financial adjustment has already led to a change of plans for Sylvain Francisco, who ultimately signed with Panathinaikos.
During the 2025-2026 EuroLeague season, Daniel Theis played in 38 games for AS Monaco, averaging 9.7 points and 5 rebounds per game.
