Magic's Franz Wagner sidelined by torn oblique
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner will be sidelined indefinitely with a torn right oblique muscle, the NBA team said Saturday, a major blow for a club already missing star Paolo Banchero with the same injury.
Wagner was hurt in the Magic's 102-94 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.
Jeff Weltman, Orlando president of basketball operations, said he would be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Wagner has played a key role in keeping the Magic competitive since Banchero was injured on October 30.
He has scored at least 20 points in nine straight games and is averaging 24.4 points, 5.7 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game for the season.
At 16-9 the Magic are in third place in the Eastern Conference.
However, they are still without Banchero, who said on Monday he had "finally" been able to take part in some on-court ball-handling and spot shooting practice.
"Obviously (there) wasn't any sprinting or cutting or anything," Banchero said. "But hopefully in the next few weeks I can start getting into more of that and just work my way back into playing shape."
