Ames, Iowa ? Iowa State coach Greg McDermott announced Thursday that starting guard Lucca Staiger will return next season, ending a brief flirtation with the idea of returning to his native Germany. Staiger had recently told McDermott that he was debating whether to remain with the Cyclones or pursue opportunities in Germany, but McDermott said Staiger called him Thursday to say he’ll return next fall. Staiger, who will be a junior next year, averaged 8.2 points and shot 38.5 percent from three-point range last season.
