NBA Showdown: Wagner Brothers Shine in German Duel
The NBA season is in full swing and one of the highlights was the matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Brooklyn Nets, where the Wagner brothers took center stage. The Magic secured their second victory of the season, triumphing over the Nets with a score of 116-101.
Stellar Performances by the Wagner Brothers
Franz Wagner emerged as the standout player for the Magic, scoring 29 points, alongside six rebounds and five assists. His significant contribution came during a crucial juncture of the game, triggering a decisive 13-0 run for his team with a pair of free throws just before the close of the third quarter. His brother, Moritz Wagner, also made a notable impact, racking up 18 points and three rebounds in just 15 minutes off the bench, showcasing the depth and talent of the Magic.

Franz Wagner, in particular, has been making waves in the NBA since signing a massive contract worth €206 million last summer, which has made him the highest-paid German athlete. For perspective, his annual salary of over €40 million eclipses that of well-known soccer stars like Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich by a considerable margin.
Schröder’s Efforts Fall Short
On the opposing side, Dennis Schröder, captain of the German national team, managed to impress with a performance of 20 points and six assists. Unfortunately for Schröder and the Nets, this result marked their second consecutive loss to start the season, leaving the team searching for answers to turn their fortunes around.
The Success of Daniel Theis
In related news, Daniel Theis is also enjoying a promising start to the season with the New Orleans Pelicans. The team celebrated a close 105-103 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers, marking their second consecutive win as well. Theis had a commendable outing, starting the game and contributing with five points, six rebounds, and four assists in 18 minutes of play. The win was capped off by a buzzer-beater by star player Brandon Ingram, proving critical in sealing the victory.
