Just hours after the announcement about Mo Wagner missing the Eurobasket, the German team bounced back with an 87-83 win over Belgium in a very close game.
Franz Wagner with 23 points and five rebounds and free agent Dennis Schroder with 21 points and seven assists got the job done. Daniel Theis added 8 points for the winning side, which didn’t use Karim Jallow, Maodo Lo, Johannes Thiemann, and Johannes Voigtmann.
Germany hosts the EuroBasket Group B in Cologne and will face France, Slovenia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, and Hungary in the quest for qualification to the final phase, which will be held in Berlin.
Belgium on the other hand will play in Group A together with host Georgia, Montenegro, Spain, Turkey, and Bulgaria.
