The German guard is expected to be sidelined for 3-4 weeks.

Schroder signed with the Lakers following his standout performance at FIBA EuroBasket 2022.

He averaged 22.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 7.1 assists on 45.1% shooting for Germany. The guard's point average was the best among the Top 4 teams and fifth in the entire tournament.

Germany won bronze medals in the continental championship.

"His performance this summer was nothing short of incredible. It just shows his maturity [in] the way he led his team, not just the points and the stats but his energy, his competitiveness, the way he kept the group together, he kept the group moving forward through the tournament," coach Ham said about Schroder several days ago.

The Lakers will start their NBA season with a match against the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night.
