More on this storyline
The German Basketball Federation initially said Wagner was ‘day-to-day’, before the team’s doctor gave more of an update. “We were able to rule out serious injuries,” Germany’s team doctor, Oliver Putz, said on Saturday. “Nothing is broken, torn, or anything like this; things that would end the FIBA World Cup for him. Franz feels better this morning than yesterday. We did another MRI this morning. But, the problem is that we don’t have the imaging yet, so we can’t say exactly what’s hurt yet.” -via ESPN / August 26, 2023

“Franz feels better this morning than yesterday. We did another MRI this morning. But the problem is that we don’t have the imaging yet. So we can’t say exactly what’s hurt yet,” Putz added. “We won’t get the CD with the images until this afternoon. It’s a bit unfortunate how it’s organized here. And then we have to send the images to a radiologist in Germany so that he can tell us what’s going on there. Because there are no radiologists here who can give us information,” Putz continued. Wagner should train individually on Saturday. “He will work out a little bit to get his circulation going. The pictures looked wild yesterday, and that really affected him. … We are in contact with Orlando, and of course, we don’t take any risks,” Putz concluded. -via BasketNews / August 26, 2023
