Top Franz Wagner News

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Game-high 37 points Monday

    Wagner finished Monday's 112-106 loss to the Hawks with 37 points (15-29 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes.

    Wagner and Paolo Banchero (31) carried the scoring load for the Magic on Monday, but no other teammate scored in double digits in a close loss. Wagner has scored at least 30 points in five of 10 games since returning from a torn right oblique Jan. 23, and his scoring output is needed for a Magic team that entered Monday's game averaging a league-worst 104.0 points per game. Wagner and the Magic will welcome the Hornets on Wednesday.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Blows up for 31 points

    Wagner accumulated 31 points (12-22 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 win over the Kings.

    The Magic continue to play solid ball as they inch toward full health, and Wagner has played lights-out since returning from a long absence. Over seven games since his return to action, Wagner has averaged 27.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Drains 18 free throws in loss

    Wagner finished Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Jazz with 37 points (8-21 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 18-20 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 34 minutes.

    Wagner was the lone Magic starter to score in double digits Saturday, and he and Cole Anthony combined for 60 of Orlando's 99 points. Wagner wasn't the most efficient from the field, but he did most of his damage from the charity stripe, connecting on a career-high 18 free throws. In the five games since his return from a torn right oblique, Wagner has averaged 28.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 32.0 minutes per contest.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Goes for 24 points Thursday

    Wagner closed with 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-90 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Wagner didn't have his best performance Thursday when it comes to his three-point shooting, but that was perhaps the lone area in which he faltered. The star forward is working his way back from an oblique injury that sidelined him for 20 games in a row between Dec. 8 and Jan. 21, but he hasn't shown any signs of rust after scoring at least 20 points in his four games since returning to action.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Fourth-quarter blitz seals victory

    Wagner closed with 32 points (10-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 victory over the Pistons.

    Wagner scored 25 of his 32 points during the fourth quarter, helping the Magic to a much-needed victory. In just his second game since returning from an oblique injury, Wagner's playing time was arguably just as encouraging as his performance. The fact he hit 30 minutes so quickly bodes well for his immediate future. Look for both Wagner and Paolo Banchero to ramp things up as Orlando looks to atone for what has been a lean couple of weeks.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Goes off for 20 points in return

    Wagner (oblique) contributed 20 points (9-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 101-79 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    After missing the previous 20 games while recovering from a torn right oblique, Wagner stepped right back into the starting five Thursday, albeit with a minute restriction in place. The fourth-year wing made the most of his limited time on the court, leading the team with a 42.8 percent usage rate and putting up nearly a field-goal attempt per minute. He'll likely operate on a restriction for at least a few more games but should be ready to handle a consistent 30-plus-minute role at some point in early February.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Set to return Thursday

    Wagner (oblique) is available for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

    Wagner has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Orlando's previous 20 contests due to a torn right oblique. Wagner will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup from Tristan da Silva, but he is expected to be limited to around 24 minutes while he fully works his way back into game shape.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Goes through shootaround

    Wagner (oblique) went through shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

    Wagner hasn't played since Dec. 6 due to a torn right oblique but is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest. While it appears as though Wagner will likely be a game-time decision, his participation in practice is a good sign of his availability against Portland.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Upgraded to questionable

    Wagner (oblique) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Sidelined since Dec. 6 due to a torn right oblique, Wagner appears to be on the cusp of returning to Orlando's lineup. The Magic have the star forward listed as questionable due to return-to-play conditioning, so if he doesn't play Thursday, he would appear to have a good chance of returning Saturday against the Pistons. If Wagner remains out against Portland, Tristan da Silva would likely continue starting for the Magic.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Could return next week

    Wagner (oblique) has been cleared to resume taking contact, and the Magic are hopeful that he'll be ready to make his return to game action in 7-to-10 days, Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN reports.

    Wagner has been sidelined since Dec. 6 with a right oblique tear but recently entered the reconditioning phase of his rehab program. Given his lengthy layoff, Wagner needs time to ramp up before getting the green light to play in games, but he appears on track to gain clearance as soon as next weekend. Once he's officially cleared to play, Wagner will likely be under a light minutes restriction for at least a few games, as has been the case for teammate Paolo Banchero since he returned to action Jan. 10 after a lengthy absence due to the same injury.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Getting closer to return

    Wagner (oblique), who will miss Wednesday's game against the Bucks, is expected to return once he gets his conditioning up to par, Mason Williams of Sports Illustrated reports.

    Wagner will no longer show up on the injury report with an oblique injury, and instead, he'll be sporting a "return to competition reconditioning" designation. This is a small positive step in the right direction for Orlando's star forward. A return Friday against Boston has not been ruled out, though Jan. 19 against Denver in Orlando would be a more likely target.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Not taking contact yet

    Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Wednesday that Wagner (oblique) hasn't yet been cleared for contact, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. "He's feeling better. Just form shooting more than anything," Mosley said, when asked about what kind of on-court work Wagner has been doing. "No contact at all. No conditioning pieces yet."

    After he was diagnosed Dec. 7 with a right oblique tear, Wagner was scheduled to be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks. A month has since passed, but Wagner doesn't appear especially close to making his return to action, given that he's not even taking part in non-contact portions of practice. The Magic are expected to get star forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) back later this week from a long-term hiatus of his own, but Wagner's continued absence should continue to free up a starting role for rookie Tristan da Silva.
