Orlando, FL – The Orlando Magic announced that forward Franz Wagner will be out indefinitely after tearing his right oblique muscle during a game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team stated that Wagner will be reevaluated in four weeks.

This injury mirrors the one that previously sidelined Paolo Banchero, leaving the Magic without two of their star forwards as they navigate the season.

Orlando is set to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, December 10, in the knockout round of the NBA In-Season Tournament.

Before his injury, Wagner was averaging 24.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game, cementing himself as a key contributor to the Magic’s strong recent performance. The team has been on a hot streak, dropping only two games—to the New York Knicks and the 76ers—in their last 15 outings.
