Dynamic Franz Wagner Takes Center Stage in EuroBasket 2025
Basketball World Champion, Franz Wagner, to Compete in European Championship - Franz Wagner, world titleholder, is bound for the World Championships
Get ready, ball fans! Germany's thunderous shooter, Franz Wagner, is about to sizzle in the EuroBasket tournament, according to a "Best Lineup" interview on MagentaTV, available as from Monday. "That's the plan," he said, grinning. "I'm pumped about it!"
Previously, there had been some speculation about Wagner's participation, but now it’s official—he’s in! The talented 23-year-old from the Orlando Magic will go head-to-head in a fierce contest across Latvia, Finland, Poland, and Cyprus. The German team will kick off against Montenegro in Tampere, Finland on August 27.
Wagner, with a wide grin, commented, "Even without Moritz this year, we have a really good team."
His older brother, Moritz, won't be joining him due to a knee injury. "I believe that, despite Moritz’s absence this year, our team has the firepower to go all the way," Wagner added sentimentally, looking back at their World Cup title triumph in 2023 and the German team's fourth-place Olympic finish last year.
The Wagner brothers—two peas in a basketball pod—have dominated the international scene. With Franz's swift moves and lightning-fast reflexes, he's the perfect fit on the wing. The German team is still shaping up, but expect a mix of seasoned veterans and promising young talent, all vying for EuroBasket victory after their recent World Cup triumph.
Though the absence of Moritz, with his size, versatility, and veteran presence, will be strongly felt, Franz and the team will undoubtedly raise their game and keep Germany in the thick of the action. So, grab your popcorn, folks, and cheer on Germany as they charge into the EuroBasket madness!
