Like the rest of the starting lineup, Dennis Schröder didn't take part in a 5-on-5 scrimmage after practice on Monday.
But unlike the rest of the starters, Schröder stayed in the gym, sat on the floor and propped himself along a wall on the baseline. He snapped a few pictures on his gold-colored phone and shouted words of encouragement to the participants.
"Thaboooooooo," he bellowed when Thabo Sefolosha hit a corner three-point shot. When Sefolosha hit a similar shot two possessions later, Schröder repeated his refrain.
Sefolosha had missed eight games with a groin injury, and one goal of the scrimmage was to give him a chance to evaluate his rehabilitation.
