Philipp Schwethelm (May 1, 1989) is a German basketball player from Engelskirchen, Germany. Schwethelm is currently a member of Basketball Bundesliga team Bayern Munich and competed with the German national basketball team at the 2010 FIBA World Championship.[1]
Schwethelm began his professional career in 2005 with German side Köln 99ers (then called RheinEnergie Köln). He played sparingly for two seasons before seeing significant action starting with the 2007-08 season.[2] While with the 99ers, he participated in EuroCup 2005–06, Euroleague 2006–07, and ULEB Cup 2007–08.
In 2009, the 99ers declared bankruptcy. Schwethelm was then linked to a two-year deal with fellow Bundesliga side Eisbären Bremerhaven.[3] In the 2009–10 season, he averaged a career-high seven points per game in helping the team to the league semifinals.[4]
Schwethelm was one of the top junior players in Germany. He first played with the German national basketball team at the 2004 FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship.[5] He later competed with the junior squads at both the 2008 and 2009 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship.
Schwethelm's first major tournament as a member of the German senior national team was the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey.
