In the 2010/11 season he also came for the New York Phantoms Braunschweig against the Giants Düsseldorf for the first short assignment in the BBL .

In the following season he came to regular short appearances in the basketball league, in which he could achieve an average of 3.2 points and 1.8 rebounds. He was also employed as a regular at Spot up Medien Baskets Braunschweig in the 2nd basketball league, where he scored 18.4 points and 8.9 rebounds on average.

On July 9, 2012, Ratiopharm Ulm announced his commitment for three years, on August 15, 2012, after some back and forth with his former club New Yorker Phantoms Braunschweig from the German Basketball Association, he received approval for Ratiopharm Ulm to participate in the game.

In July 2012 he took part in the European Championship in Slovenia with the German U20 national team, but due to a ligament injury in the first game and gastrointestinal problems towards the end of the tournament, he made little contribution to the team's fifth place. On August 6, 2012 Daniel Theis was nominated by national coach Svetislav Pešić for the national team , but was only able to attend a short visit to the national team due to the ligament injury.

On April 27, 2013 Theis signed up for the 2013 NBA draft , but was not selected by any team. On May 13, 2014, he was honored as the best young German player (U23) of the 2013/14 season in the Bundesliga during the second playoff game against Alba Berlin . After the 2013/14 season, Ulm did not extend the contract with Theis.

For the 2014/15 season , Theis moved to Brose Baskets Bamberg for a fee , where he signed a two-year contract with an NBA release clause. In the previous season, the team missed the championship title for the first time in five years and was reassembled by the new coach Andrea Trinchieri . After the final defeat in the BBL Cup 2015 against hosts EWE Baskets Oldenburg , Brose Baskets moved into the playoffs of the basketball Bundesliga 2014/15 as first in the table . Bamberg made the sweep into the final round, where they met defending champions FC Bayern Munich . In five games against the previous year's champions from Upper Bavaria , Bamberg ultimately triumphed and took back the championship title. Theis also played with Bamberg in the second-highest club competition Eurocup 2014/15 , in which they fought their way to the second round. There you met the locomotive Kuban Krasnodar , who had previously been undefeated in 16 games and were led by Malcolm Delaney . A narrow defeat with 78:80 in the first leg was followed by a more pronounced one with 53:70 in the second leg against the Russians and Bamberg was eliminated. In his first season in Bamberg, Theis scored 9.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in an average of 20 minutes. In April 2015, he extended his contract for another year until the end of the 2016/17 season.

In the 2015/16 season Theis played with Bamberg for the first time in the highest European club competition, the EuroLeague 2015/16 , for which the German champion received the right to participate. They made it into the second round, but missed participation in the playoffs just about a victory, which until then no German team had succeeded. In the BBL, after the semi -final defeat in the BBL Cup in 2016 against hosts Munich, they again reached the playoffs as the first in the main round, in which Bamberg even managed to sweep through the entire playoffs to the renewed German championship. For the All-Star Game, Theis was appointed to the BBL All-Second-Team and won with the national team.

In the 2016/17 season Bamberg again took part in the EuroLeague, which was played in a new mode for the first time this season. 16 teams played back and forth in a group to qualify as one of the top eight for the playoffs. This additional burden of 30 games and the associated travel stress (they played up to two games in Europe during the week) drained the team's strength. Bamberg ended the EuroLeague season 2016/17 with ten wins in 13th place, with twelve defeats with six or fewer points being decided very tightly. The BBL won the cup for the first time under coach Andrea Trinchieri and Theis was named the best defender in the Basketball Bundesliga .

In the summer of 2019, Theis extended his contract with the Boston Celtics for another two years.
