Absent from the courts since December 6, 2024, due to a tear in the right external oblique muscle, in the abdomen, Franz Wagner is getting closer to returning to the floor. He is currently working hard to regain his physical condition.
And since he suffered the same injury as his teammate Paolo Banchero, we can compare the two situations. The All-Star interior, who missed 34 games, took two weeks to prepare and return against the Bucks last weekend.
“I feel good and everything is going in the right direction”, confided Franz Wagner after his training, without contact, on Tuesday. “I was able to do things on the floor. My muscle is no longer the problem at this point, it's more about fitness. I have to make sure I check all the boxes before playing a match. »
If he follows the same pace as Paolo Banchero, the German, absent for 16 matches so far, could play again by the end of the month. And resume the course of his fully successful season before his injury, with his 24.4 points, 5.7 assists and 5.6 rebounds on average.
