Local Heroes: The Wagner Brothers
“I’m really happy about it, and I think it’s going to be emotional,” says André Jürgens, head of the Bundesliga basketball team, the Rostock Seawolves. He’s not the only one excited. Berliners will have the unique opportunity to watch two local stars, brothers Moritz and Franz Wagner, take to the court. Moritz, who celebrated a triumphant return from injury with a win against the Pelicans, is ready to make his mark. However, Franz’s participation remains uncertain due to an ankle sprain.
