Franz Wagner, who is suffering from ankle pain, returns to the infirmary
Franz Wagner stopped dead again. According to ESPNwinger Magic he will have to stay off the field indefinitely after further tests on his left ankle…
It’s another tough blow for Orlando, still reeling this season physical failures and permanent rotation settings. Franz Wagner has been carrying this wrist discomfort since the beginning of December, with a hasty return to play in Berlin. He returned to the infirmary before returning just before the All-Star break for two games. Unfortunately, that didn’t last and the staff will now favor a more cautious approach, with no precise timetable, to avoid a relapse and allow him to return to full form.
Sportingly, the absence is difficult because Franz Wagner is one of the driving forces of the group, besides Paolo Banchero. Unfortunately, the two have played very little together this season. If we add Desmond Banewe realize that the three men have only played 18 matches (out of 53) together!
What to explain (partially) great difficulties for Jamal Mosley’s team, which is only in 7th position (28 wins – 25 losses) in the Eastern Conference ahead of the home part of the campaign.
