Moritz Wagner News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Productive in spot start Thursday Wagner racked up 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 134-120 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Wagner shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Wendell Carter Jr. who was ruled out with an ankle injury. Despite fluctuating playing time, Wagner has actually put together his most productive stretch of the season recently. Over his past seven games, he is averaging 14.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 triples on 51 percent shooting from the floor. His role is too uncertain to make him a must-add player, but he is absolutely worth considering in the short term, especially if Carter misses additional time.

Starting for injured Carter Wagner will start Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Wagner gets the nod alongside his brother, Franz, as Wendell Carter sits out due to an ankle injury. It will mark Wagner's first start of the year. In games this season where he's seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Double-doubles off bench Wagner registered 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 150-108 loss to the Nets.

Impact Wagner scored in double figures off the bench for a third straight contest and grabbed a team-high 11 boards en route to his second double-double of the campaign. Since returning March 4 following a nearly month-long absence due to a rib injury, Wager has averaged 13.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.5 minutes over the Magic's last six contests.

Providing offense off bench Wagner delivered 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes Friday in the Magic's 118-110 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Since returning March 4 following a nearly a month-long absence due to a rib injury, Wagner has provided a major jolt to the Magic's second unit. In his first four games back, Wagner is averaging 14.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 three-pointers, numbers that would make him a useful piece in 12-team leagues if he can maintain them the rest of the way. However, Wagner has played under 20 minutes in each of the past three contests, making it difficult to fully believe that he'll be able to sustain his current production in the absence of a spike in playing time.

Scores 12 points in limited action Wagner supplied 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 102-99 loss to the Suns.

Impact With Wendell Carter back in the mix following a two-game absence due to an illness, Wagner saw his playing time dip below 20 minutes, but he was still able to offer solid production in his limited action. Wagner has averaged 14.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists over his last two games since returning from a nine-game absence due to a rib contusion.

Posts double-double in return Wagner (rib) provided 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 124-96 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Wagner missed each of Orlando's previous nine games due to a left rib contusion, but he didn't show much rust in his return to the court Saturday. The big man registered his highest scoring total since Jan. 23 and grabbed a team-high 11 boards to notch his first double-double of the season. Wagner surprisingly saw 27 minutes in the loss, which marked his most playing time since mid-January. Expect his playing time to trend down in the Magic's next game Tuesday against the Suns if starting power forward Wendell Carter (illness) is able to put an end to his two-game absence.
