New test for Orlando. After losing their leader Paolo Banchero after five games, the Magic experienced a slump… before managing to revive, thanks in particular to the impact of Franz Wagner.
Because since his teammate's injury, the German has posted All-Star stats with 26.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists on average at 46% success, despite an outside skill (30%) still a little weak.
Moritz's brother was even voted “Player of the Week” in November, and above all he allowed his team to win 13 games out of 20 in the absence of his All-Star teammate. By showing himself to be decisive against the Lakers. Except that he in turn joins the infirmary… for exactly the same injury as Paolo Banchero!
Franz Wagner thus suffered a tear in the right external oblique muscle, in the abdomen, and he is therefore absent until further notice. He will only be re-evaluated by the medical staff in four weeks…
For Orlando, currently 3rd in the Eastern Conference with 16 victories for 9 defeats, it will therefore be necessary to grit its teeth without its two offensive locomotives for some time.
