Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) was back on the court Wednesday as Germany beat Latvia to lock up a semifinal spot at the FIBA World Cup. It was a proper nail-biter, and Germany eventually came out on top 81-79, with Wagner contributing a team-high 16 points on 7-for-12 shooting. He entered the game off the bench and was also tied for the team-high in rebounding with eight boards, adding three assists in 24 minutes. Wagner, who logged only his second game of this year's World Cup, will now gear up to face his NBA colleagues as the Germans meet Team USA in the final four. His return to the court is great news for the team, and the Magic will likely be delighted as well to see Wagner back in action a few weeks before training camp starts.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has missed most of the World Cup, but might be able to return on Wednesday. The young forward is currently considered as a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup with Latvia. The German team would certainly be happy to see Wagner back on the court, but they aren't going to push anything with the regular season right around the corner. That being said, Wagner will likely wait to see how he feels during warmups before he decides whether or not to play on Wednesday.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is day-to-day. The 2021 No. 8 overall pick, suiting up for Germany in the FIBA World Cup, tweaked his ankle during Friday's win over Japan. While an MRI ruled out a serious injury, it's unknown if he'll be on the floor for the meeting against Australia on Sunday. That said, fantasy managers should be thankful that Wagner's ailment likely won't extend into the regular season.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) scored 10 points during the win over Japan in FIBA play on Friday. He added six rebounds, five assists, and a steal.

Although the results haven't been made public, Wagner may not be on the floor for Sunday's meeting versus Australia.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will play on Sunday against Brooklyn. The 21-year-old tweaked his ankle in Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks. However, he's good to go. Considering the Magic are barely in the postseason conversation, Wagner is likely 100%, or else he wouldn't be playing, meaning he should see his usual workload. He logged 21 points and shot 50% from deep in his one meeting versus the Nets this season, so he has a favorable outlook for DFS contests and season-long fantasy setups.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The young forward suffered a sprained left ankle during the third quarter. Wagner was taken to the locker room with help from the team trainers. Cole Anthony and Caleb Houstan should both see additional playing time with Wagner done for the night. Fantasy managers will need to check back later for another update on Wagner's status.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is available to play Tuesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Franz was questionable to play with a right ankle sprain, but has recovered enough to resume his normal role. If Wagner is hobbled by the injury, Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony should see increased minutes off the bench.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) was able to play 28 minutes in a 12-point win over the Miami Heat on Saturday, so the ankle sprain that originally happened the week before didn't seem to linger too much. Either way, he's officially listed as questionable and the team will likely see how he feels during shoot-around and warm ups before making an official decision. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for more updates, but in the case he doesn't play, Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs would be solid streaming options.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner couldn't complete Friday's game against Charlotte after spraining his left ankle. He had a nice start to the game with nine points on 3-for-5 shooting but had to leave after only 14 minutes of action. Wagner also posted a rebound, an assist, and a block in the game. His injury pushed Jalen Suggs to the starting unit for the second half. The 21-year-old is a fairly inconsistent performer but had one of his good nights, recording 15 points and five rebounds in 30 minutes with 5-for-9 shooting. Admiral Schofield and Caleb Houstan could also benefit from Wagner's absence.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner had an outstanding game against the Pelicans on Friday, leading his team to a 123-110 win with 30 points and nine assists. He also grabbed six rebounds, while shooting 10-for-16 from the field and a superb 5-for-7 from three-point land. Wagner has scored more points just two times this season. He's having a very productive campaign with a 20.5-point scoring average, pulling down 3.9 rebounds and handing out 3.5 assists. The German forward will look to frustrate the Wizards next. Wagner has already enjoyed one good outing against them this season, scoring a team-high 28 points in a 119-100 loss on Dec. 30.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The young forward was able to get through his pre-game routine without any issues. That being said, Wagner will suit up and should see his normal workload during Friday's game. The second-year forward has been the best player on this team over the first half of the season. He is currently providing 5th-round value in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against Houston. He sprained his right ankle Monday versus Atlanta and the early signs weren't good regarding his availability for Wednesday, but Wagner went through the shootaround and it looks like he is trending toward playing against the Rockets. However, if Wagner is forced to miss his first game of the season, Terrence Ross and Cole Anthony should share most of his minutes.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner enjoyed a big night against the Raptors Friday, finishing a 113-109 victory with a career-high 34 points. He was locked in throughout the game and ended up missing just three of his 15 attempts from the field, two of which came with four efforts from downtown. Wagner, who was perfect at the line with eight attempts, also registered five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes while committing one turnover. The 21-year-old tends to be inconsistent with his performances, and just a week ago he netted only nine points against Toronto, but he's having a good season overall and produces plenty for fantasy managers. Wagner will head into Sunday's rematch with the Raptors averaging 19.7 points for the year with 4.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner had himself a very efficient night in the team's 130-129 win on Thursday night. The second-year player from Germany put up 19 points, three rebounds, and two assists on 58.3% shooting from the floor and he also made his only three-point attempt of the night. While his assist numbers have gone up so far this season, his turnovers have also increased compared to last year. In non-dynasty fantasy formats, he might not be delivering the value expected with an ADP in the sixth round, but he does still need to grow alongside Paolo Banchero.

However, with training camp beginning in a few weeks, Wagner's status is currently up in the air.

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) and small forward Franz Wagner (wrist) will miss Sunday's season finale vs. Miami. Carter enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2021-22, having averaged a double-double (15 points, 10.5 rebounds) across his 62 games. Wagner is a candidate for First-team All-Rookie honors after averaging 15.2 points on 46.8% shooting across 79 outings. Their absence Sunday will pave the way for Terrence Ross, Chuma Okeke, and Moritz Wagner to all take on larger roles, upping the trio's DFS intrigue.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will not be suiting up for Thursday night's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. The rookie suffered a right ankle sprain in Tuesday's game.

Brazdeikis played 36 minutes in Tuesday's game and racked up 20 points and six boards while shooting 8-for-16 from the field. Wagner's next chance to play will be on Sunday for the team's final game of the year against the Miami Heat.

The Magic will certainly be cautious with him and while he hasn't been ruled out yet, he may be doubtful to return. Fellow former Wolverine Ignas Brazdeikis should see increased minutes on Tuesday while Wagner is out.

However, with Cole Anthony (toe) out, there's a good chance he'll be even more productive on Tuesday night.
