adidas Basketball Signs Franz and Moritz Wagner Ahead of Berlin NBA Games

adidas Basketball has officially signed Franz and Moritz Wagner to its global roster, adding two of Germany’s most impactful basketball talents just ahead of a meaningful homecoming. The announcement comes as the Orlando Magic prepare to compete in the Berlin NBA Games this January, giving the Berlin-born brothers a rare opportunity to return to their roots on one of basketball’s biggest stages.

Both Franz and Moritz Wagner were born and raised in Berlin, where their basketball journeys began with ALBA Berlin. That shared foundation makes the partnership with adidas feel full-circle, aligning two hometown athletes with a brand that originated in Germany and has since become deeply embedded in global basketball culture.

Franz Wagner has quickly emerged as one of the NBA’s most complete young forwards. At 6’10, he brings a refined scoring touch, positional versatility, and consistent two-way impact that has helped establish him as a cornerstone of the Orlando Magic’s long-term vision. His game blends size, skill, and basketball IQ, making him one of the league’s most reliable young wings.

Moritz Wagner has carved out his own role as a high-energy big with floor-spacing ability and edge. Standing 6’11, he provides scoring punch, toughness, and personality in the Magic’s frontcourt, while also being a vocal presence on and off the floor. Together, the brothers form one of the NBA’s most recognizable sibling duos.

Beyond the NBA, Franz and Moritz Wagner were instrumental in leading the German Men’s National Team to its first-ever FIBA World Cup title in 2023. That historic run marked a defining moment for German basketball and elevated both players as global ambassadors for the sport.

adidas Basketball views the signings as part of its broader commitment to shaping the next generation of the game. With roots in Berlin and a growing international footprint, the Wagner brothers embody the blend of heritage, performance, and global reach that continues to define Adidas’ basketball direction.
