On July 12, 2023, he signed with Hamburg Towers of the Basketball Bundesliga. [6] He moved to Bundesliga after years of trying. Main key was 2022/2023 season in which he developed his 3pt shot under eye of polish development coach and assistant coach Maksym Papacz. [7] Dziewa increased his 3pt percentage by 8,3%. Averaged 32.5% (2020/2022) and 40.8% (2022/2023) [8]

National team

In the summer of 2018, Aleksander Dziewa was called up to the Polish national team B, with which he played several matches in China. [9]
