Wendell Carter Jr. Stats

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 center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) will be sidelined once again on Thursday as the team faces the Charlotte Hornets. The fourth-year pro hasn't been on the court since March 28 as he's been hampered by a left wrist sprain. He hasn't been ruled out for the season yet, but the team only has one game left after Thursday, so it's likely we've seen the end of Carter's 2021-22 campaign. Chuma Okeke has been filling in as a member of the starting five with Carter out. He's been struggling with his shot lately as he's averaging just 7.0 points per game while shooting 27.3% from the field over three April outings.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) won't play on Tuesday against Cleveland. The former Duke Blue Devil most recently missed his last three games because of a sprained left wrist, and with the season coming to an end, he may not see the floor again until 2022-23. Franz Wagner (ankle) and Chuma Okeke should continue to benefit without Carter in the lineup. However, Wagner is questionable, so if he doesn't suit up, Okeke could thrive as a value option in DFS formats. Moritz Wagner, who had 18 points and nine boards on Sunday against the Knicks, could also be more involved.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) remains sidelined for Sunday's game versus the New York Knicks. Carter has missed his previous two games and four of his last five, and with the season coming to a close, he may be finished for the year. Nonetheless, Chuma Okeke and Moritz Wagner should continue to receive more work. However, neither has been consistent from a fantasy perspective.
