Franz Wagner is preparing to return from an ankle injury against the Bucks
With The Orlando Magic destroy the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday and with Saturday’s win over the Utah Jazz, the team is on a two-game winning streak, and the team looks to continue on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the The Magic are still dealing with the injury of Franz Wagner’s absence as he manages an ankle injury, which puts his status for the game in question.
Here’s everything we know about Franz Wagner’s injury and his playing status against the Bucks.
Franz Wagner’s injury status against the Bucks
Wagner has missed the last nine games with a left ankle injury, but he is scheduled to return on Monday night, according to ClutchPoints NBA Insider Brett Siegel.
Wagner spoke briefly about his problem after the aforementioned win over the Jazz on Saturday, where he said he hoped is to return playing for Orlando before the All-Star break.
“That’s my hope (to be back before the All-Star break),” Wagner said, according to Orlando Magic Daily . “I think I had two good practices today and the second day of the game. I’m really just seeing how my foot reacts to it.”
He will now need to play a few games before the break to get back into the swing of things.
The 24-year-old forward played in 26 games this season, averaging 22.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while shooting 48.2% from the field and 36.8% from the bench. If Wagner wants to beat his return timeline before the break, he has two more games left, including Monday night, and another contest on Wednesday, once again against the Bucks.
