Franz Wagner Questionable for Magic vs. Hawks After Lengthy Ankle Rehab

The upgrade reflects weeks of full-contact work under a cautious plan following earlier setbacks.

Overview

  • Orlando listed Franz Wagner as questionable for the Hawks game, with ClutchPoints reporting the team will decide after his pregame warmups.
  • Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Wagner has been doing physical 5-on-5 work and is progressing well as staff track how his ankle responds.
  • Wagner told BasketNews his return is close and he hopes to play before the regular season ends.
  • He has missed 22 straight games and 47 of the past 51 since a high left-ankle sprain suffered on December 7 in New York.
  • The Magic are 39-35 in eighth place, so even limited minutes from the 21.3-points-per-game forward could help their push to lock in postseason position.
