He was one of the absolute top players in the playoffs. But because his contract with Alba was running out, his departure seemed likely. Now Matt Thomas (30) is staying with the runner-up.
He averaged 15 points in the final series of the lost easycredit Basketball Bundesliga against Bayern – together with Sterling Brown, Matt Thomas almost carried the Berlin team to a sensational victory against the overwhelming favorite. And after the departure of Sterling Brown (29), fans feared the departure of the shooting guard as well.

But now Thomas has extended his contract for another year – for the first time in his career he will stay with the same club for two years. “That’s right,” said the American. “It’s the first time in my career that I can stay with the same club and in the same city for a second season. Having this continuity and stability was an important factor in my decision.”
