Franz Wagner Fantasy Stats

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (heel) is officially active for their Thursday night matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Wagner has been dealing with a left heel contusion but hasn't missed any time due to the injury. The 24-year-old is averaging 22.4 PPG on the season and is a solid start against a fast-paced Hornets team that doesn't provide much resistance. Fantasy managers should ensure he gets into their starting lineups as soon as possible.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (heel) has gotten off to a strong start to the season, but he's questionable to play Thursday on the second night of the team's back-to-back. Wagner is averaging 22.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 35 minutes per game over the first five games of the season. Wagner played 33 minutes with 22 points against the Pistons on Wednesday, but apparently, he picked up this heel contusion as well. If the team is cautious with him and holds him out, Tristan da Silva, Jase Richardson, and possibly Jonathan Isaac could get more work. Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane would get more work in the offense as well, since Jalen Suggs (injury management) will sit out as well.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner needed only 18 minutes of action to record a double-double in Germany's 120-57 victory over Great Britain on Monday. He put up 18 points on 6-for-9 shooting, hitting 3-for-4 from downtown, and dished out 10 assists. Wagner's easy day at the office included one rebound and one steal. The German star has been incredibly efficient at EuroBasket, filling the box score despite averaging only 23.2 minutes. Wagner has registered 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He is shooting 50 percent from three and boasts an overall shooting percentage of 55.8. Last season, Wagner took a big leap in the NBA, and his play for Germany suggests that he will be even better in 2025-26.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (knee) is set to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. The German star has been dealing with a knee issue lately and missed Orlando's final two regular-season games. However, the team has not listed Wagner on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup. Wagner has scored 20-plus points in each of his last 12 appearances, and the Hawks are well aware of the threat he poses for teams. In three regular-season meetings with Atlanta this season, Wagner averaged 28.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (knee) won't play against the Pacers on Friday. Orlando is already locked into the Play-In tournament. As such, Paolo Banchero (ankle), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee), and Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will join Wagner on the shelf. With that in mind, Cole Anthony is still available, so it's logical to assume he could be the most productive on the offensive end. However, guys like Caleb Houstan, Anthony Black, and Goga Bitadze could easily surpass the 5x value mark for DFS participants.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) is available to return on Thursday when his Magic host the Trail Blazers. He'll be limited to 24 minutes in his return, according to coach Jamahl Mosley. He will start alongside Paolo Banchero for the first time since October 30, but both will continue to play limited minutes while they work their way back to full strength. Before missing the last 20 games for the Magic, Wagner averaged 24.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.0 three-pointers, and 1.7 steals in 33.2 minutes per game. His return will be a huge boost for the Magic, as they start to get back to full strength.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against Portland. This indicates that Wagner is getting close to returning to action. He has been out since Dec. 6 with a right oblique tear. Before suffering the injury, Wagner was on fire at the start of the year. He has averaged 24.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assists for the campaign. Fantasy managers likely won't get the same production out of Wagner in his first games back, but it shouldn't take him long to shake off any rust. Wagner's return is bad news for Tristan Da Silva, who will be bumped to the bench.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) is not ready to return just yet as he's listed as out while he continues to ramp up his conditioning. While he's sidelined against the Boston Celtics on Friday, Tristan Da Silva will likely remain in the starting five. Anthony Black, however, has been the better streaming option as he posted 10 points, four assists, and two steals in their last game while clocking 30 minutes off of the bench. Over the last three games, he's averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) has been ruled out indefinitely. He suffered a torn right oblique in Friday's 102-94 loss to Philadelphia. Wagner recorded his third consecutive 30-point outing on Friday and has carried the Magic offense during Paolo Banchero's (oblique) absence. Orlando also lost Banchero to a torn oblique at the end of October. The team plans to re-evaluate Wagner in four weeks. With the Magic's two best scorers now out of the lineup, the rest of the group will have to step it up big time. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Tristan Da Silva have had limited offensive roles so far but may be asked to contribute more going forward.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) will play on Friday versus the undefeated Cavaliers. The 23-year-old has been under the weather, forcing his premature exit in the Magic's previous two contests. Hopefully, he'll see his usual workload against Cleveland. If that's the case, Wagner could finish the game as Orlando's highest scorer, considering Paolo Banchero (oblique) is on the shelf.
