Staiger will fly back to Germany on Aug. 11 to begin practice with the national team for two weeks before heading back to Ames. The A2 team is not the squad competing in the Olympics, but Staiger will get a chance to play an exhibition game against the German A1 national team, which consists of NBA All-Star Dirk Nowitzki and many other top international players.
