2 Apr
Summary
- Franz Wagner's ankle injury status upgraded to questionable for the Hawks game.
- Coach Mosley and Wagner express optimism about his imminent return.
- Orlando Magic, currently eighth in the East, aim for playoff surge with Wagner back.
Orlando Magic star Franz Wagner's return from an ankle injury is drawing nearer, with his status upgraded to questionable for the team's upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the first time Wagner has seen his availability status improve since suffering the injury in early February.
Head coach Jamahl Mosley confirmed Wagner is progressing well, stating they will monitor his response to treatment. Wagner himself shared a positive outlook, expressing hope to play before the season concludes. Despite playing in only 28 games this season, Wagner's potential return could significantly boost the Magic's playoff aspirations.
With seven games left, the Magic are 40-35 and eighth in the East. Wagner, alongside other injured players like Jonathan Isaac, remains on the team's injury report. His comeback could invigorate Orlando's late-season push and increase their chances of making a meaningful impact in the postseason.
