Franz Wagner (14pts, 5rebs) didn’t play at all in the 4th quarter. His absence was really crucial because he brings versatility and stability on both ends for Grermany. It was a main reason for Montenegro’s return in 4th. #KoerbeFuerD #EuroBasket #MagicTogether2:05 PM

That right ankle injury for Franz Wagner didn’t look good. Came down on a defender on a jumper. – 1:12 PM

More on this storyline

It was Jonas Valanciunas’ best game wearing the Lithuanian national team shirt. His dominance was felt throughout the entire game. Not only did he almost singlehandedly fouled out Daniel Theis and Johannes Thiemann, but the center also recorded 34 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, made 5 assists, and drew 13 fouls during the game. On the other side of the court, Franz Wagner was phenomenal. Although the Orlando Magic forward was not that noticeable during the two overtimes, he scored 32 points on 8-for-13 shooting and grabbed 8 rebounds in just his fourth official game with the German national team’s shirt. -via BasketNews / September 4, 2022
