Franz Wagner News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Not ready to return Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Wagner was diagnosed with a left high-ankle sprain in early December, which typically carries a recovery timeline of 2-to-4 weeks. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to return Friday, so his next chance to play is Saturday against the Nuggets.

Magic diagnose Franz Wagner with high ankle sprain after awkward landing, return timetable TBD

Orlando Magic leading scorer Franz Wagner has a high sprain of his left ankle that will likely keep him out for multiple weeks

DECEMBER 8 • Associated Press

Could miss 2-to-4 weeks Wagner was diagnosed with a high left ankle sprain Monday and could miss two-to-four weeks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact The Magic haven't released a timetable yet, but Charania notes that this type of injury usually sidelines players for at least a couple weeks. Wagner suffered this injury during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks and it was apparent right away that he would miss some time. With Wagner sidelined, the Magic could turn to guys like Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard, Jonathan Isaac and Noah Penda to fill the void.

Magic forward Franz Wagner leaves game with lower left leg injury against Knicks

Orlando star forward Franz Wagner left the Magic’s game against the New York Knicks with a lower leg injury during the first quarter Sunday

DECEMBER 7 • Associated Press

Won't return Sunday Wagner sustained a lower left leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks and won't return. He'll be re-evaluated when the team returns to Orlando.

Impact Wagner landed awkwardly on his left leg and was unable to put any weight on the leg while being helped off the court. He'll finish with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across seven minutes. If the star forward is forced to miss additional time, Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Noah Penda are candidates for increased playing time. The Magic are expected to provide an update on Wagner's status ahead of Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup against the Heat by Monday night.

Helped to locker room Sunday Wagner exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Wagner landed awkwardly after going up for a pass and was unable to put any weight on his left leg while being helped off the court. It appears unlikely the star forward will return, and if he's unable to do so, Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Anthony Black are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.
