Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner sidelined indefinitely due to ankle injury.
Franz Wagner has missed 25 of the last 29 games due to a left high ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in about three weeks by Orlando Magic medical staff.
- ESPN reported Wednesday that Orlando Magic have shut down Franz Wagner indefinitely after tests found lingering soreness from a left high-ankle sprain, the Orlando Sentinel confirmed.
- During the January European trip, Wagner sustained the injury on Dec. 7 against the New York Knicks, missed 16 games, and returned for Jan. 15 and Jan. 18 showcases before sitting out nine more games, ESPN reported.
- Wagner has produced 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and Orlando averages 117.2 PPG with him versus 112.7 without, according to NBA.com and ESPN Research.
- The team plans to re-evaluate Wagner in three weeks, meaning he is expected to miss about 10 games before the Magic return Thursday in Sacramento without him.
- With Wagner sidelined, Orlando faces ongoing issues as he has missed 25 games this season, and the trio of Wagner, Banchero, and Suggs has played only 14.1% of games, affecting team continuity.
