Because of his brother, Frank, Daniel aspired to be a basketball player. Daniel followed his brother to all of his games.

However, a severe knee injury caused Frank to abandon his dream of becoming a basketball player. He then decided to become a middle school teacher.

Daniel eventually drew attention to basketball, and his size and height further added to his support.

Daniel joined Braunschweig’s second division squad at the age of 18. Thus, Daniel Theis’ basketball career began right then.
