Impact This is a brutal setback for Orlando and for Wagner's fantasy managers. The Magic will re-evaluate Wagner in three weeks, putting his earliest possible return date at March 11. The Magic will proceed with caution, however. In his his absence, players such as Anthony Black, Noah Penda and Tristan da Silva could take on larger roles.

Fares well in return Wagner produced 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists over 17 minutes during Monday's 118-99 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Wagner returned from a nine-game absence Monday, and he operated under strict restrictions off the bench. He seemed to be moving around well, and it's likely that his minutes continue to ramp up. Fantasy managers will be hoping he's back to full steam after the All-Star break.

Available to play Wagner (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Wagner, who has missed the past nine games for Orlando, officially has the green light to return after shaking off his questionable tag. After such a lengthy stint on the sidelines, it's possible he faces some restrictions in his first game back. With this news, Anthony Black may retreat to the second unit.

Questionable for Monday Wagner (ankle) is questionable to play Monday versus Milwaukee.

Impact Wagner has missed the past nine games for the Magic with an ankle injury, but this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down, which indicates progress. We'll have a better idea on Wagner's status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he's cleared to return, Anthony Black might head back to the second unit.

Won't play Thursday Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Nets, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact This will be the eighth consecutive game on the inactive list for Wagner, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.

Ruled out for Tuesday Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Wagner will miss his seventh straight game while managing a left high-ankle sprain, a nagging issue that has limited him to just two appearances over the Magic's past 24 contests. The forward's next chance to return will come Thursday against the Nets, though there's little indication a comeback is imminent.

Won't play Sunday Wagner (ankle injury management) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Wagner is set to miss a sixth consecutive game while managing a left ankle injury. His next chance to play is Tuesday against the Thunder, though he hasn't been cleared to participate in full-contact work. Anthony Black, Tristan da Silva and Noah Penda should continue to operate in expanded roles for as long as Wagner is sidelined.

Another absence coming Wagner is out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle injury management, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Wagner's absence will be a fifth straight Friday. The Magic appear to be taking a cautious approach with the star forward, who isn't taking contact in practice as he tries to get the injury fully resolved. Anthony Black has thrived in 2025-26 and remains locked into the starting lineup at least until Wagner is finally ready to return.

Out Wednesday, not taking contact Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Wagner (ankle), who is out for Wednesday's game against the Heat, was able to ride a stationary bike and take part in standstill shooting d...

Impact While Wagner hasn't been shut down from activity entirely since he experienced soreness last Thursday in the left ankle that he previously sprained Dec. 7, the 24-year-old hasn't yet resumed taking contact and appears likely to remain out through Friday's home game versus the Raptors. The Magic aren't terming Wagner's injury as a setback and haven't sent him in for an MRI after he previously missed 16 straight contests due to the high-ankle sprain, but the fifth-year wing will need to strengthen his ankle before he's cleared to return to game action. In the meantime, Wagner's absence should extend Anthony Black's stay in the starting five.

Won't play Wednesday Wagner (ankle) will not play Wednesday against Miami.

Impact Wagner will be sidelined for a fourth straight game due to left ankle injury management. As far as fantasy hoops goes, it's not a great sign for his managers that he's being ruled out a day in advance once again. For now, he can be considered highly questionable for Friday against the Raptors.
