Undergoes successful surgery The Magic announced that Wagner underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

Impact Wagner had already been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign after making 30 appearances before suffering a torn ACL against Miami on Dec. 21. However, the 27-year-old big man can now begin his rehab process and has an $11 million team option for 2025-26.

Out for season with torn ACL Wagner suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Wagner went down with a non-contact knee injury after playing only two minutes in Saturday's win over Miami. The injury was later diagnosed as a torn ACL on Sunday, and the big man will be forced to miss the remainder of the season following a stellar start which had him in the Sixth Man of the Year conversation. The 27-year-old appeared in 30 regular-season games, during which he averaged a career-high 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks across 18.8 minutes per game. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan are candidates for increased roles off the bench with Wagner sidelined.

Inside the numbers: Magic celebrate an enormous comeback, Heat lament a stunning collapse

A lead of at least 22 points with 12 minutes left means victory in the NBA

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • Associated Press

Won't return Saturday Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Miami, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Impact Wagner sustained a non-contact left knee injury and will undergo further testing to determine the specifics and severity of the injury. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan are the likeliest candidates for increased roles sans Wagner. Wagner's next chance to play will come Monday against Boston.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers non-contact injury Wagner was helped off the floor during Saturday's game against the Heat after sustaining a non-contact knee injury, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Wagner wasn't able to put much, if any, weight on his left leg while being helped back to the locker room. Considering the non-contact nature of the injury, Wagner should be considered doubtful to return. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan could see more action while Wagner is sidelined while Wendell Carter could see more minutes at center.

Notches career-high 32 points Wagner supplied 32 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 100-91 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Wagner caught fire in Sunday's loss, posting a new career-high mark of 32 points. He also tied his career-best mark of four three-pointers, something he's now done five different times. Wagner is heating up and could continue to provide consistent streaming value while Paolo Banchero (oblique) and Franz Wagner (oblique) rehab their injuries.

Scores 13 in 19 minutes Wagner registered 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Wagner has reached double figures in six straight games, but his workloads remain fairly low. In that span, he's averaging 20.0 minutes per contest with 12.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 three-pointers. He's been a viable streamer to open December.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Best game of season Tuesday Wagner supplied 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-106 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Wagner had his best performance of the season Tuesday by a wide margin, notching his first double-double of the campaign while also setting new season-high marks in both points and rebounds. Despite coming off the bench, Wagner has been a consistent performer in the Magic's frontcourt, and that translates to him having a solid floor across all fantasy formats. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight contests, a span in which he's averaging 14.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest.

Impact Wagner provided a nice lift off Orlando's bench in Sunday's win, leading all second unit players in scoring and rebounds while also recording a team-high-tying pair of blocks in a near double-double outing. Wagner tied a season high in rebounds, now having reached double figures in scoring in six of his last seven contests.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Wagner contributed 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 95-84 win over the Hornets.

Impact Wagner has been playing at a high level off the bench in recent games, and his consistency as a second-unit threat makes him a solid streaming option in some formats, particularly category-based leagues. Wagner has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous 11 appearances, averaging 14.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest.

Sets season highs in win Wagner closed Thursday's 119-118 win over the Lakers with 19 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 18 minutes.

Impact Wagner set season highs in both scoring and assists while hitting the double-digit points mark for the eighth time in his last 10 appearances. The big man has played a significant role off the bench through 17 regular-season outings, and in his last five contests he has averaged 12.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 17.0 minutes per game.
