• Magic's Franz Wagner: Fills stat sheet Monday

  10H ago • By RotoWire

  Wagner closed Monday's 95-84 win over the Hornets with 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound, seven assists, two blocks and four steals in 40 minutes. The Magic defeated the Hornets in one of the lowest-scoring games of the current 2024-25 NBA season. Still, Wagner found a way to stuff the stat sheet and carry a depleted Orlando team to the finish line while being employed in a point-forward role due to their lack of depth in the backcourt. Expect Wagner to continue to enjoy an uptick in his usage rate as long as the Magic remain this depleted.

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Wagner recorded 30 points (11-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 victory over the Pistons. Wagner was Saturday's leading scorer and was close to registering the first triple-double of his career. Wagner has logged eight games with at least 25/5/5 this season, which he was able to do only seven times in the first three years of his NBA career. Wagner has taken on a bigger role on offense since Paolo Banchero tore his oblique in late October. Since Banchero's injury, Wagner has averaged 25.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.8 steals over 33.9 minutes per game.

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Wagner accumulated 37 points (13-26 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and four steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-118 victory over the Lakers. Wagner drained a three with two seconds left on the clock to wrap up the win for the Magic. The win was impressive considering Orlando's shorthanded status, and they are managing to string wins together without Paolo Banchero (oblique). Wagner represents a key part of that effort, averaging 28.6 points, 7.4 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals over his last five games.

  Wagner recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and four steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 104-93 loss to the Clippers. Wagner is the driving force behind Orlando's offense, but the loss of Paolo Banchero (oblique) has forced the Michigan product to shoulder a heavy load. Wagner is on pace to have his best year yet, averaging 22.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals over 16 games.

  Wagner amassed 32 points (12-24 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-99 win over the Suns. Wagner followed up a 31-point outing against Philadelphia with another strong total against the depleted Suns, who are now 1-5 without Kevin Durant (calf). It's a nice statement road win for the 9-6 Magic, who are off to a great start thanks to big totals from Wagner. Through 15 games, he's averaged 22.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals.
