Player Stats

Magic writer Dan Savage reports that Franz Wagner (shoulder) “plans to play” in Wednesday’s matchup with the Hawks after getting in a full Tuesday practice.

Wagner has been dealing with a right shoulder injury since the preseason finale on October 16, but he’s trending in the right direction ahead of the season opener. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status ahead of tip-off.

Franz Wagner with 26 points (8-of-18 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, eleven assists, a steal, two steals, and four turnovers on Friday.

The assists were a massive boost to his performance and should be a boost to your fantasy team, especially at this part of the week. With Paolo out, he has the opportunity to show what he can do, and see if there’s some untapped upside that he didn’t get to show with Paolo there. A lot of his upside will be dependent on the 3-point shot and he hasn’t shot it well up to this point in the season.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner had 15 points (4-of-11 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, and seven turnovers in blowout loss to Raptors.

Franz was one of the only players that could get shots up in this game. The Magic struggled with efficiency as they dealt with the Raptors aggressive defense, but you can see it affected Franz with the 7 turnovers. The Magic will play the Raptors again on Friday and will get a second chance at redemption where he will look to have a better performance.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner tallied 23 points (9-of-23 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 13 rebounds and nine assists in Sunday’s win over the Knicks.

Wagner had a rough first three quarters on Sunday, scoring two points on 1-of-10 shooting. Something changed in the fourth, as he shot 8-of-13 from the field and 5-of-5 from the foul line. Wagner scored 21 of Orlando’s 40 fourth-quarter points, with the Magic delivering Sean Sweeney his first win as an NBA head coach. Orlando plays three games in Week 2, starting with the Raptors on Wednesday. With Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs injured, Wagner will carry even more of the offensive workload.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner tallied 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Wagner played 32 minutes before fouling out of Friday’s defeat with a little over three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. While he shot a solid overall field-goal percentage, the Magic forward made 3-of-6 from the foul line and committed six turnovers. Over two games, Wagner has recorded 10 assists and nine turnovers, something he’ll need to clean up. Orlando ends its Week 1 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner (shoulder) is not on the injury report and will be available to play against the Hawks on Wednesday.

After practicing in full on Tuesday, Wagner announced his intention to play against Atlanta, and now it’s official. Orlando will have their full starting unit to open the year, and Wagner should see a full workload in his usual starting spot.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner (shoulder) was limited to “light work” during Sunday’s practice.

Wagner exited Friday’s preseason finale against the Heat in the third quarter with right shoulder soreness. He was limited to light work in Sunday’s practice, and the Magic will continue to evaluate Wagner leading into Wednesday’s opener against the Hawks. If Franz can’t play, Tristan da Silva is the likely replacement in the starting lineup.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner (shoulder) will not return to Friday’s exhibition against the Heat.

Wagner started the third quarter of Friday’s preseason finale but exited with a sore right shoulder. He stayed on the bench with his teammates, so the injury likely won’t sideline him for Orlando’s regular-season opener on October 21. If he does miss time, Tristan da Silva is the likely replacement in the starting lineup.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner lit up the Cavaliers with 20 points (7-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one three-pointer on Tuesday.

Wagner played limited minutes in Orlando’s first two preseason games, but he was unleashed in this one. Through three preseason games, he now has 18 assists, and even with Jalen Suggs (illness) in the lineup, Wagner was still the primary playmaker. Wagner’s career high for assists per game is 4.7, but that mark dropped to just 3.3 last season. If Sean Sweeney opts to utilize him as a playmaker more, and he is able to stay healthy, Wagner can be a fantasy stud.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner accumulated six points (2-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 14 minutes in Wednesday’s preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Wagner was unable to settle into a groove during his preseason debut, but he managed to shift seamlessly into facilitator mode, dishing out a team-high seven assists. The 25-year-old forward was limited to a career-low 34 games last year due to a severe high ankle sprain. It’s relatively easy to write off last season’s injuries as an outlier given his previous history, which makes him an interesting rebound candidate as a fourth-round range selection in fantasy drafts this fall.

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner (calf) is out for Game 7 against the Pistons on Sunday.

Wagner left Game 4 after playing 24 minutes with a calf injury and hasn’t played since. He’s now set to miss Game 7. The tides turned without him in the series as the Magic are in the process of blowing a 3-1 lead to the Pistons. Jamal Cain started Game 6 in Wagner’s place, but had just three points in 20 minutes while Anthony Black had eight points in 34 minutes off the bench.

LeBron James (sciatica) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

LeBron is back after missing Saturday’s win over the Hornets, the second game of a back-to-back. Who he pushes to the bench may depend on Joel Embiid (foot), who is questionable. If Embiid can play, Dean Wade would head to the bench. If Embiid can’t play, the 76ers could go without a true center, starting LeBron and Wade together, with Adem Bona on the bench.

Joel Embiid (foot) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

Embiid did not play in Saturday’s win over the Hornets, as it was Philadelphia’s second game in as many nights. The 7-footer remains on the injury report, which is concerning, but the 76ers would likely rather their former MVP miss games now than later in the season. Adem Bona started on Saturday, but the 76ers were also without LeBron James. With LeBron off the injury report, Bona could be headed to the bench regardless of what happens with Embiid.
