Early life
Andreas Obst was born on July 13, 1996, in Halle (Saale), a city in the Saxony-Anhalt region of eastern Germany.[11][12] Growing up in Halle, Obst experienced limited exposure to organized basketball, as the region lacked extensive infrastructure for the sport during his early years.[13] His family provided some athletic influence, with his mother having played basketball in her youth, which later encouraged his entry into the game.[14] In his pre-teen years, Obst explored other sports, including swimming and soccer, but found them unappealing compared to basketball.[14] Prompted by his mother, he began organized basketball participation around age 10 with the junior team of the local club USV Halle.[12] This initial involvement marked his introduction to the sport in a structured setting.Youth and junior basketball
Obst began his basketball journey in the youth system of USV Halle, a local club in his hometown, where he developed the foundational skills under his first coach, Mrs. Koch.[15][4] This early affiliation laid the groundwork for his progression through German youth basketball structures, focusing on fundamental techniques and team play in regional junior competitions. At the age of 15, in 2011, Obst advanced to a higher level by signing with the junior team of TSV Breitengüßbach, marking his entry into more competitive youth environments.[4][16] The following season, 2012–13, he made his debut with TSV Tröster Breitengüßbach in the ProB (third-tier professional league) while also competing in the Regionalliga (fourth tier), averaging notable performances that highlighted his emerging scoring ability.[4] In 2013–14, he joined Baunach Young Pikes, further honing his skills in semi-professional youth settings and preparing for elite programs.[4] In 2014, Obst transitioned to the prestigious Brose Baskets Bamberg youth academy, relocating 250 kilometers from Halle to immerse himself in one of Germany's top development systems.[13][16] There, he integrated into structured training that emphasized tactical growth and physical conditioning, contributing to Brose Baskets' successes, including German championships during the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons.[4] As a 1.91-meter shooting guard, his early development particularly spotlighted perimeter shooting, with standout tryout performances showcasing his three-point range and quick release, which scouts noted as key attributes.[13][16] Obst's junior career included international exposure with Germany's youth national teams, participating in the 2012 FIBA U16 European Championship (Division A, 5th place), where he averaged 7 points per game.[1] He continued with the U18 squad at the 2014 FIBA U18 European Championship (Division B, winners/1st place, averaging 15.1 points and 2.3 rebounds), and debuted for the U20 team at the 2015 FIBA U20 European Championship (11th place).[1] These tournaments provided milestones in his growth, allowing him to compete against top European prospects and refine his offensive versatility before turning professional.[1]Professional career
Early professional teams (2015–2018)
Andreas Obst began his professional basketball career during the 2015–16 season, splitting time between the second-division ProA with Baunach Young Pikes and limited appearances with Brose Baskets Bamberg in the top-tier Basketball Bundesliga (BBL). With Baunach, he gained significant playing time as a shooting guard, contributing to the team's efforts in the ProA while developing his perimeter shooting and defensive skills. Across 36 total games that season (primarily in ProA), Obst averaged 19.3 minutes, 7.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 37.8% from the field and 32.0% from three-point range.[17] His role with Brose was more developmental, appearing in just a handful of BBL games for 1.3 points per contest on average, though he was part of the squad that won the German National Championship that year.[4][18] In the 2016–17 season, Obst was loaned to Gießen 46ers in the BBL, marking his first full campaign in Germany's premier league. As a rotation player, he adapted to the increased physicality and pace of top-level competition, focusing on off-ball movement and spot-up shooting. Over 28 games, he logged 16.2 minutes per outing, averaging 5.1 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assist, with field goal efficiency at 35.9% and 30.3% from beyond the arc.[17][4] This period highlighted his transition from junior to professional rhythms, though scoring output dipped slightly due to adjusted roles amid Gießen's struggles in the league.[17] Obst signed with the expansion Oettinger Rockets Gotha for the 2017–18 BBL season, where he emerged as a key scoring option for the newcomer team pushing for stability in the top flight. Averaging 27.8 minutes across 32 games, he boosted his production to 10.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, improving his three-point shooting to 38.1% on higher volume.[17][4] Notable performances included a career-high 27 points and 33 efficiency rating in a November win over Tigers Tübingen, showcasing his growing confidence in scoring and rebounding.[18] During this stretch, Obst's development emphasized enhanced defensive contributions and adaptability to professional demands, setting the stage for his rise in higher-profile roles.[17]ratiopharm Ulm (2018–2021)
Andreas Obst signed a two-year contract with ratiopharm Ulm of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) on July 1, 2019, marking his return to German professional basketball after a season abroad.[19] In the 2019–20 BBL season, his rookie year with the club, Obst emerged as a reliable bench shooter, appearing in 28 regular-season games while averaging 9.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game in 24.3 minutes of play, with a 35.5% success rate from three-point range.[17] His role emphasized perimeter shooting and spacing the floor, contributing to Ulm's competitive standing before the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to fully integrating with Ulm, Obst spent the 2018–19 season with Monbus Obradoiro in Spain's Liga ACB, where he adapted to a faster-paced, more physical international style of play, logging 17.1 minutes per game across 31 appearances and shooting an efficient 43.2% from beyond the arc on 4.0 attempts.[20] Key games included consistent contributions off the bench, helping Obradoiro avoid relegation while honing his defensive reads and transition scoring against top European talent. This experience built on his early pro consistency, preparing him for Ulm's demands in both domestic and continental competitions. Obst made his EuroCup debut with Ulm in the 2019–20 season, averaging 10.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists over 10 games in 25.1 minutes, highlighted by a 42.0% three-point percentage that showcased his growing threat as a shooter.[21] Standout performances included efficient scoring outings where he drained multiple threes, such as in matchups against strong Group A opponents, aiding Ulm's push toward the playoffs before the tournament's interruption. The following 2020–21 EuroCup campaign saw further refinement, with Obst averaging 11.0 points on 51.1% three-point shooting in 10 games, including games where he exceeded 15 points through perimeter volume.[22] In the BBL, Obst's contributions propelled Ulm to playoff contention, particularly in the 2020–21 season where he averaged 13.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 45 games at 24.9 minutes, dramatically improving his three-point accuracy to 49.2% on increased volume.[17] A highlight came on September 29, 2020, when he scored 25 points—nearly matching his career high—on 9-of-14 shooting, including five threes, to secure a win over Würzburg despite missing teammates.[23] Ulm reached the quarterfinals that year, finishing fifth in the regular season, with Obst providing key bench energy in the postseason series against Bayern Munich, though the team fell in three games. His refined three-point shooting, blending volume and efficiency, earned league-wide recognition and positioned him as one of the BBL's top perimeter specialists during this period.Dallas Mavericks stint (2020)
On July 27, 2020, Andreas Obst signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Dallas Mavericks, a non-guaranteed deal designed to allow him to compete in training camp and potentially earn a spot with the team's G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, or convert to a two-way NBA contract. This opportunity came after Obst's breakout performances with ratiopharm Ulm in the EuroCup, where his sharpshooting had drawn NBA interest. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the 2020 NBA Summer League, depriving Obst of an initial on-court showcase against other prospects. Instead, he participated in preseason workouts and early team activities in October 2020 at the Mavericks' facility in Dallas, adapting to NBA-level practices amid COVID-19 protocols. During this period, Obst focused on adapting to the faster pace and physicality of NBA practices, impressing coaches with his three-point shooting—honed during his Ulm tenure—and earning positive feedback for his work ethic. He interacted with stars like Luka Dončić and Kristaps Porziņģis, gaining insights into professional routines at the league's highest level. Despite his efforts, Obst faced stiff competition from established guards and other invitees vying for limited non-guaranteed roster spots amid the Mavericks' crowded backcourt. Challenges in fully adapting to the NBA's defensive schemes and conditioning demands for the 82-game schedule also played a role in his non-roster status. On October 11, 2020, the Mavericks waived Obst to finalize their 15-man opening night roster. The brief stint nonetheless boosted his professional development, enhancing his physical conditioning through rigorous NBA-level drills and exposing him to elite competition that refined his perimeter game. Following the waiver, Obst returned to ratiopharm Ulm almost immediately, rejoining the team for the 2020-21 Basketball Bundesliga season without missing significant playing time. His seamless reintegration allowed him to contribute effectively right away, leveraging the NBA exposure to elevate his overall performance in European play.Bayern Munich (2021–present)
On July 6, 2021, Obst signed a two-year contract with FC Bayern Munich, joining the team for both the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and the EuroLeague.[24] The deal marked his return to a top-tier German club after stints abroad, positioning him as a key sharpshooter in Bayern's backcourt under head coach Pablo Laso.[25] In the 2021–22 season, Obst adapted quickly to Bayern's high-level system, averaging 8.1 points per game across 31 EuroLeague appearances while shooting 41% from three-point range.[2] His perimeter shooting provided crucial spacing, contributing to Bayern's competitive regular season finish, though the team exited in the playoffs. Obst's role expanded in domestic play, where he helped stabilize the guard rotation amid injuries, showcasing improved decision-making honed from his brief NBA exposure. The 2022–23 campaign saw Obst elevate his production to 9.9 points per game in 25 EuroLeague games, with a 39.5% three-point success rate, aiding Bayern's push toward the postseason.[2] Off the court, he signed a multi-year extension in March 2023, committing through the 2025–26 season and solidifying his status as a core piece.[26] In the BBL, his consistent scoring was instrumental in Bayern's run to the German Cup final, which they won for the first time since 2018, defeating EWE Baskets Oldenburg 90–78, with Obst providing timely outside threats.[11] During the 2023–24 season, Obst achieved personal bests in EuroLeague efficiency, shooting 40.9% from beyond the arc on 7.5 points per game over 22 contests, while maintaining defensive contributions with 0.7 steals per outing.[2] His versatility as a combo guard was pivotal in Bayern's domestic double, securing both the BBL championship—their sixth in club history—by defeating ALBA Berlin in the finals, and the German Cup with a victory over Baskets Bonn.[27][11] Obst's clutch performances in playoff series, including multi-three-point outbursts, underscored his growth into a reliable finisher for the title runs. The 2024–25 season highlighted Obst's emergence as one of Europe's premier shooters, averaging 14.0 points per game in the early EuroLeague slate with a 44.1% three-point clip over nine games.[2] He played a central role in Bayern's continued dominance, contributing to their BBL championship defense with key scoring in playoff matchups and helping secure a play-in appearance in the EuroLeague, though the team fell short against Crvena zvezda. Recent standout efforts included a 31-point explosion on nine threes against Crvena Zvezda in October 2025 and a 34-point career-high with 11 made threes—setting a single-game EuroLeague record—against FC Barcelona in November 2024, powering a 100–78 rout.[28][3] These performances, coupled with his leadership in high-stakes games against top teams like Real Madrid and Virtus Bologna, have cemented Obst's impact on Bayern's pursuit of sustained elite contention. In the 2025–26 season, under head coach Gordon Herbert, Obst has continued to excel for Bayern through November 2025, appearing in 16 combined BBL and EuroLeague games and averaging 24.1 minutes, 12.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 40.2% from three-point range.[17] On January 7, 2026, Obst delivered an explosive shooting display in a crucial EuroLeague matchup against Baskonia, scoring a career-high 37 points on 7-of-11 three-point shooting (including several deep threes) and 6-of-7 from two-point range, while adding 3 rebounds and 2 assists for a 38 PIR rating. His performance featured multiple And-1 plays and timely threes that fueled Bayern's comeback from a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to a 96–89 victory, sealing the win with his sharpshooting prowess.[6][29][30]International career
Senior national team debut
Obst earned his first call-up to the German senior national team in the fall of 2017 for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 European Qualifiers, marking the beginning of his international career at age 21.[25] His early involvement came amid strong performances in the German BBL with ratiopharm Ulm, where his perimeter shooting drew attention from national team coaches.[25] Over the 2017–2018 qualification window for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, Obst appeared in 10 games, averaging 7.1 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assist per game while shooting efficiently from beyond the arc.[1] In the subsequent 2019 tournament itself, his role was limited to four games off the bench, where he averaged 2.3 points per game, focusing on spot-up opportunities.[21] During the 2020–2021 FIBA EuroBasket qualifiers, he contributed more prominently in five games, posting 13.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, helping Germany secure qualification while building rapport with star guard Dennis Schröder through shared backcourt responsibilities.[1] Obst played a key role in Germany's qualification for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (held in 2021) during the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Split, Croatia, where he averaged 7.0 points across four games.[1] At the Olympics, he emerged as a reliable perimeter threat for the team, appearing in all four games and averaging 12.0 points per game on 40% three-point shooting (14 of 35 attempts), providing crucial spacing in Germany's group stage efforts against top competition.[31] This tournament highlighted his growth as a specialist shooter in the national team's system, complementing Schröder's playmaking with off-ball movement and long-range accuracy.[1]Major tournaments and achievements
Obst played a key role in Germany's bronze medal finish at the 2022 FIBA EuroBasket, where the team defeated Poland 82–69 in the bronze medal game after a semi-final loss to Spain 91–96. He averaged 11.6 points per game across nine contests, showcasing his perimeter shooting prowess with efficient three-point attempts that contributed to Germany's upset wins, including a quarterfinal victory over Greece.[32] In the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, Obst was instrumental in Germany's historic first-ever gold medal, going undefeated through the tournament and defeating Serbia 83–77 in the final.[33] His standout performance came in the semifinals against the United States, where he scored a game-high 24 points, including 4-of-8 from three-point range, fueling a 113–111 upset victory that propelled Germany to the championship game.[34] Obst averaged 10.4 points overall, providing crucial spacing and scoring in the knockout stages against Latvia and the USA.[7] At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Obst helped Germany finish 4th overall after a 83–93 loss to Serbia in the bronze medal game. In a pre-Olympic exhibition matchup against the United States on July 22, 2024, he contributed 14 points in 28 minutes, including multiple three-pointers, during a tight 88–92 loss that highlighted his ability to compete against elite defenses.[35][36] Obst's sharpshooting anchored Germany's gold medal run at the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket, where the team defeated Turkey 88–83 in the final to claim their first title in 32 years. He shot 24-of-52 from three-point range overall (46.2%), including an impressive 15-of-28 (53.6%) in the first five games, with notable efficiency against top opponents, including 5-of-6 against Montenegro in the group stage.[37] Throughout these tournaments, Obst earned recognition for his contributions.Career statistics
