Michigan Basketball: Franz Wagner shows he is healthy vs Russia

With a bit of a lull in recruiting until the next live evaluation period, Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard has been in Europe to watch star recruit Franz Wagner.

Wagner is playing the European 18U championships for the German team and after missing the last game due to injury, Wagner was back on the floor Wednesday against Russia and even though he didn’t shoot the ball all that well, his back didn’t look like an issue anymore.

After some back issues forced Wagner to miss the game against Great Britain earlier this week, he was in the starting lineup for the German team and quickly showed Michigan basketball fans that there are no lingering health issues thanks to a pair of dunks, including this one in transition.
