Professional career

[edit | edit source]

The son of former professional basketball player Marc Suhr, a 7-foot center who won four caps for the German men's national team during his career, Kratzer started out with BBC Bayreuth’s youth team at age 12,[1] moving on to the Brose Bamberg youth program in 2012. Representing Bamberg's development squad Baunach Young Pikes, he made his debut in Germany's third-tier ProB during the 2013-14 season, helping the team win promotion to ProA that year. Kratzer made his first appearances in Germany's top-flight Basketball Bundesliga for Bamberg in the 2016-17 campaign, while still being a regular in the reserve team. Averaging 14.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks a game for Baunach in 2016-17,[2] he garnered ProA Player of the Year honors.[3]

Looking to take the next step in his career and to gain more playing time in the Bundesliga, he signed on loan for s.Oliver Würzburg in June 2017.[4]

On 20 November 2018 he signed with Skyliners Frankfurt of the Basketball Bundesliga.[5]

On 31 July 2020 he signed with Telekom Baskets Bonn of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL).[6] In 2023 Kratzer won the Basketball Champions League with Bonn, remaining scoreless in the final against Hapoel Jerusalem, but contributing a team-high six rebounds.

On 8 July 2023 he signed with Paris Basketball of the LNB Pro A (BBL).[7]

Kratzer represented the German junior national teams at the 2013 FIBA Europe Under-16 Championships, the 2015 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championships, 2016 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championships and 2017 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championships.
