The NBA Berlin Game is one of seven international showcases during the 2025-26 season, marking the league's first regular-season game in Germany since 1984. But here's where it gets controversial: while the game itself is a big deal, the NBA House in Berlin will also be open, offering fans a chance to celebrate the NBA and its culture. Featuring appearances by NBA legends, basketball competitions, gaming, and the Larry O'Brien Trophy, it's a must-see for any basketball fan. So, what are three key storylines to know entering this matchup? 1. The Wagner Bros: Moe is back, Franz is questionable. The Magic's German duo, Moe and Franz Wagner, are set to play in Berlin. Moe returns after a long recovery from an ACL tear, while Franz is questionable with a high left ankle sprain. 2. Bane, Grizzlies reunite in Europe: The Magic and Grizzlies agreed to a trade in mid-June, sending Desmond Bane to Orlando. These two games in Europe will be the first time Bane faces his former squad. 3. All-Stars on a global stage: The game will feature a trio of young All-Stars: Orlando's Paolo Banchero and Memphis' Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. Both teams are eager to put on a show for a new audience and get every win they can as the NBA season's midpoint nears.
