Franz Wagner Questionable With Ankle Sprain
4 weeks agoOrlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. After Wagner exited during the third quarter of Sunday's win over the visiting Chicago Bulls, an MRI confirmed a sprained right ankle following the contest. It's worth noting that Wagner missed eight games back in January due to the same injury, so the 46-32 Magic could opt to exercise caution with the 22-year-old former first-round pick with the playoffs on the horizon. Joe Ingles would be in line for an expanded role and uptick in fantasy value if Wagner can't play for Orlando on Tuesday, but the veteran sharpshooter averaged only 8.0 points, 4.0 assists. 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers in four games without Wagner earlier in 2023-24. Houston is giving up the fourth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing small forwards as well.
