Questionable vs. Knicks Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact The rookie sprained his left ankle during the opening minute of Friday's game against the Raptors, and fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's held out Sunday. If that's the case, more minutes could be in store for Ignas Brazdeikis and Admiral Schofield.

Suffers left ankle sprain Wagner won't return to Friday's game against the Raptors due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Wagner hurt his ankle in the opening minute of Friday's matchup, and the issue will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Sunday against the Knicks, but Terrence Ross, Gary Harris and Chuma Okeke should see additional run against the Raptors on Friday.

Electric despite loss Wagner recorded 28 points (11-20 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-110 loss to the Wizards.

Impact An oft-underlooked player in a deep 2021 rookie class, Wagner has now piled up nine games of 25-plus points. Emerging from a 1-for-14 shooting slump from three over his last five games, Wagner has been unshakeable throughout his rookie season. The 20-year-old Michigan product is averaging a robust 15.5 points per game.

Just misses double-double Saturday Wagner closed Saturday's 114-110 overtime loss to the Kings with 19 points (9-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals over 34 minutes.

Impact The rookie fell just short of his third double-double in the NBA, with the last coming Jan. 12 against the Wizards. Wagner seems to be holding his own down the stretch and has avoided hitting the proverbial wall, and over his last six games the 20-year-old is averaging 17.5 points, 4.2 boards, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals.

Scores team-high 26 points Thursday Wagner closed with 26 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 134-120 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Wagner got things trending in the right direction in the loss, leading the Magic with 26 points. The rookie was serving up performances like this with regularity to open the season but has slowed down in recent times. In fact, over the past two weeks, he has fallen into the streaming discussion on the back of just 12.9 points per game to go with 4.8 boards and 2.9 assists. He certainly should be added anywhere he was dropped after this effort, in the hope he can ride this momentum through to the end of the season.
