A non-contact injury is always worrying. And in Orlando, where the infirmary is already full (Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Gary Harris, Jalen Suggs), the release of Moritz Wagner had cause for concern…
Injured on an impulse against the Heat, collapsing immediately, Franz's brother suffered a rupture of a cruciate ligament in his left knee, and ESPN announced that its season is already over.
“We are all praying for him. This one is for Mo” Goga Bitadze explained after the meeting. “It hurts to see one of our brothers on the ground. As they say, it's up to the next guy to take over but this guy deserves better. »
With an average of 13.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in an average of 19 minutes, “Moe” was one of the legitimate candidates for the best 6th man trophy.
“I know he was going to be voted best 6th man of the year. I hope he can come back and collect this trophy” had confided Cole Anthony, confirmed by Goga Bitadze. “He’s an army unto himself.” We all played for him. Look at the incredible stats he compiled this season. He’s the best 6th man in the league, that’s for sure. »
Above all, it's one more injury in Florida, and the Magic's task becomes even more complicated.
