Franz Wagner News: Just misses double-double in return

Wagner (ankle) chipped in 18 points (6-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 win over the Grizzlies in Berlin.

Wagner, who had been out since Dec. 9 due to a sprained left ankle, returned to action in his hometown and delivered a strong performance. The nine boards tied his season high, and he didn't operate with much of a playing-time restriction, as his 27 minutes weren't far off his season-long average (33.1 per game). The 24-year-old forward also played alongside his older brother for the first time in 2025-26, as Moritz Wagner made his return Sunday from a more than year-long absence due to a torn ACL.
