Franz Wagner celebrates the European title-and thinks primarily of his injured brother Moritz. With an emotional gesture and clear words, he is aimed at the NBA professional in California.
With the European Championship Cup in his hand and his brother’s jersey on his shoulders: Franz Wagner stood in front of the cameras after the final victory against Turkey-and sent an emotional message to California. There Moritz Wagner followed the tournament as a TV expert due to injury-and was still right in the middle of his brother.
“Ey Mo, just get healthy. And then we’ll get this thing again. I say it what it’s like,” said Franz Wagner in magenta after 88:83 (40:46) in the final in Riga. During the European Championship, Moritz Wagner had accompanied the events on the microphone. Due to a cruciate ligament tear, active participation was not possible for the NBA professional.

“We miss you, Bro. In any case, a beer will be drunk for you,” said Franz Wagner. Later the 24-year-old explained: “Moritz is of course the most important person for me. Not only when it comes to basketball. One to whom I always looked up. Sometimes it is the case that everything does not go well in life. So it is with his injury. But it should simply show that he is always with us and part of the team.”
Despite the failures-in addition to Moritz Wagner, NBA champion of Isaiah Hartenstein and world champion David Krämer-Franz Wagner also looks at the upcoming tasks: “I think we are exactly where we belong. And we still have a few really good boys at home.” After the 2023 World Cup title, Germany is now also a European champion.
