Franz Wagner Fantasy Stats

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will miss Saturday's game against Cleveland as he continues to manage soreness following a recent return from a high-ankle sprain. The repeated absences create short-term opportunity but little stability for fantasy managers. Noah Penda flashed across the stat sheet with 13 points, two rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one block in 19 minutes last time out, yet his role has fluctuated sharply. Jett Howard and Tristan da Silva also remain volatile, offering scoring or minutes in spurts but lacking consistent usage. Wagner should be held, though durability concerns cap his ceiling.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will not play Thursday in his team's first game back after two international matchups against the Grizzlies over the last week. Wagner was sidelined for over a month due to a sprained left ankle before returning for the games in Germany and London, but he won't be ready for Thursday's game in Orlando. With Wagner out again on Thursday, Tristan da Silva seems to be the most likely choice to replace him in the starting five. In his 13 starts, Da Silva has averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.0 steals in 26.3 minutes per game.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is set to return to action on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The team has removed Wagner from the injury report ahead of the game. It will be a special matchup for Wagner, as the Magic and Grizzlies face off in his hometown of Berlin, Germany. It will be the NBA's first-ever regular-season game in Germany. Wagner has missed more than a month due to an ankle injury, so he will likely be under a minute restriction on Thursday. However, it will be great to see him back. Wagner's return will reduce playing time for Noah Penda and Tristan da Silva and shift the offensive dynamics.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will remain out Friday against Philadelphia as he continues to recover from a high-ankle sprain. Sunday against New Orleans remains his next realistic return window. His absence keeps secondary usage concentrated elsewhere. Anthony Black benefited earlier, averaging 21.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers over a twelve-game span. He has cooled lately, posting 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists over his last two outings. Tristan da Silva should continue starting after logging 14 points in 24 minutes, but remains a risky streamer due to volatility.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will remain sidelined on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed 13 games with a high ankle sprain, but the German star appears to be nearing his comeback. Last Friday, it was reported that Orlando expects Wagner to be available "within the next week." With Jalen Suggs (knee) also out on Wednesday, players like Tristan da Silva, Anthony Black, Tyus Jones, and Jase Richardson will have additional fantasy value. That said, this isn't a good matchup from a fantasy standpoint, as Orlando will face a slow-paced team that has the fourth-best defensive record in the Eastern Conference.

According to broadcaster Jeff Turner, the Orlando Magic are expected to get forward Franz Wagner (ankle) "back within the next week." Orlando has upcoming games against the Pacers, Wizards, Nets, and 76ers during that span, so it appears there is a light at the end of the tunnel for fantasy managers. The 2021 No. 8 overall selection was having another solid campaign before an ankle injury put him out of commission, averaging 22.7 points, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and a career-high 6.1 rebounds. Wagner will presumably be limited for at least a few contests upon his return. However, even then, his presence should take away scoring opportunities from others right away, including Anthony Black, who has averaged 19.2 points in 14 starts this season.

On Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) could be out of action 2-to-4 weeks due to a high left ankle sprain. However, an MRI showed no structural damage on the 24-year-old's left leg, according to Charania. Wagner's injury occurred during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks. With Wagner on the shelf, fantasy managers should expect forwards Jett Howard and Tristan da Silva to take on extra minutes.

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.
