Magic overcome Cooper Flagg's 51-point night as Mavericks lose 14th straight home game

Wendell Carter Jr. scored 28 points and the Orlando Magic beat Dallas 138-127, overcoming a 51-point showing from rookie No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg and handing the Mavericks their 14t...

Modest line in return Wagner supplied 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and two assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-101 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Returning from a 22-game absence, Wagner saw a limited workload with the starters Wednesday, pushing Tristan da Silva back to the bench. The Magic will likely continue to gradually build his minutes back up, and he's probably going to see some maintenance in the final couple weeks as well.

Will start in return Wagner (ankle) will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Impact The 24-year-old forward will return from a 22-game absence due to a left high-ankle sprain and reclaim his spot in the starting five from Tristan da Silva. Wagner sustained the ankle injury Dec. 7 and has played in just four games since, so he's likely to operate under a minutes restriction during his return to action.

Cleared to play Wednesday Wagner (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Wagner sustained a left high-ankle sprain Dec. 7 and has played in just four games since. However he'll shed his questionable tag and return Wednesday from a 22-game absence due to the ankle injury. The 24-year-old will likely operate under a minutes restriction and may even come off the bench against Atlanta. Over four appearances (two starts) since picking up the injury, he has averaged 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 22.8 minutes per contest.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Impact This is a huge step in the right direction for Wagner as he inches closer to a return. The forward was recently cleared for 5-on-5 and it sounds like he may warm up before a decision is made on his stats. Tristan da Silva is likely to see a reduced role if Wagner gets the green light.

Inching closer toward return Wagner (ankle), who has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, is "progressing well," per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.
Impact Wagner has participated in 5-on-5 scrimmages at practice, and head coach Jamahl Mosley said Tuesday that the star forward will be re-evaluated following treatment. Wagner appears to have a real chance to return from a high-grade ankle sprain Wednesday, when the Magic take on the Hawks in a key Eastern Conference matchup.

Practices in G League The Magic recalled Wagner (ankle) from the G League's Osceola Magic after he practiced with the affiliate Monday.
Impact Wagner will remain out for Tuesday's game in Cleveland, but his assignment to the G League for practice represents the first notable sign of progress in the recovery process for the fifth-year forward since the Magic opted to shut him down over the All-Star break. The Magic haven't provided any details regarding the extent of Wagner's practice activity Monday, so until more information emerges on that front, his return to game action shouldn't be viewed as imminent. Wagner has played in just four games since he initially suffered a left high-ankle sprain in a Dec. 7 loss to the Knicks.

The 2024 No. 18 overall pick has started 28 times this season, averaging 11.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting 39.1 percent from downtown.
