Wagner is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Wagner will replace Wendell Carter (knee) in the starting lineup Friday. Across his first five appearances this season, Wagner is averaging 11.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.2 minutes but should see an uptick in playing time against Cleveland.

Wagner recorded 18 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 15 minutes during Friday's 116-101 victory over the Nets. Wagner caught fire off the bench, scoring a season-high 18 points. Wagner has the ability to flash some offensive upside, making him a name to watch, even in standard formats. While the offensive output was encouraging, he still played only 15 minutes. As long as he is serving as the backup to Wendell Carter, Wagner is going to find it hard to put up consistent value.

Wagner posted 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 24 minutes in Saturday's 93-83 loss by Germany to Serbia in the bronze medal game of the Paris Olympics. Wagner produced his highest scoring outing of the Paris Olympics in this game, but it was not enough to lift the team past Nikola Jokic and Serbia. The 27-year-old Wagner was not asked to do much in the scoring department alongside Franz Wagner and Dennis Schroder, but he did shoot an efficient 52.5 percent from the field during the Paris Olympics. In six Olympic appearances, Wagner averaged 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 17.0 minutes per game.

Wagner is on the German national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Wagner is coming off a strong 2023-24 campaign for the Magic in which he averaged 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.7 minutes across 80 regular-season appearances. For Germany, Wagner should be one of the team's primary options in the frontcourt alongside Daniel Theis.

Wagner agreed to a two-year, $22 million deal with the Magic on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Magic declined Wagner's team option on Saturday, but the sides agreed on a new deal to bring him back for two more seasons. The 27-year-old averaged a career-high 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.5 steals across 17.7 minutes last year over 80 regular-season games. Moreover, Wagner shot a career-high 60.1 percent from the field.
