Franz Wagner Leads Germany in Olympic Semifinal Clash
Franz Wagner will lead the German team against France in the Olympic semifinal, aiming for their first-ever gold medal game appearance.
The German Men’s National Basketball Team will have the Orlando Magic’s Franz Wagner leading them when they take on France in the pivotal Olympic semifinal at Bercy Stadium, in Paris for what promises to be a high-stakes encounter on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. ET. Germany will be playing with the hope of reaching their first-ever Olympic gold medal game.
In the group phase, Wagner powered Germany to an emphatic victory against France to secure the top spot in Group B. In that game, the Orlando power forward scored 26 points, including two impressive highlight dunks. This time, however, he will be in the company of NBA Rookie of the Year, Victor Wembanyama, who will be leading France’s charge. The winner of the game will face either the USA or Serbia in the gold medal game. A victory will not only be a historic moment for Germany but will also accentuate Wagner’s burgeoning reputation on the international stage.
