Franz Wagner Hopes to Move Past Injury Setbacks
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner opened up to Cyro Asseo of HoopsHype about a frustrating injury-plagued year, saying the repeated rehab process was tough and that he probably should not have played during Orlando's Berlin game. The 24-year-old was limited to 34 regular-season games because of a recurring left high ankle sprain before a right calf strain knocked him out late in the first round. When available, Wagner still averaged 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists while shooting 48.1 percent from the field. Under new head coach Sean Sweeney, Wagner's health is one of Orlando's biggest fantasy swing factors. A clean offseason would put him back in position to provide efficient scoring, rebounds, assists, and enough steals to remain a strong multi-category option next to Paolo Banchero.
