Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner will miss his 12th consecutive contest due to a left high-ankle sprain, though he's expected to return "within the next week," according to Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com. The 24-year-old forward's next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Wizards. He's averaging 22.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.4 minutes per tilt across 24 regular-season appearances, though he'll likely face a minutes restriction whenever he's cleared to return.

Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Monday that Wagner (ankle) is without a timetable for a return to game action, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner is slated to miss his ninth consecutive contest Monday due to a left high-ankle sprain he sustained in a loss to the Knicks on Dec. 7, and he doesn't appear to be nearing a return. Beede reported Friday that the star forward has yet to progress to running or cutting and has been limited to spot shooting. He should be considered week-to-week until Orlando offers another update on his recovery.

Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner will miss his eighth consecutive outing due to a left high-ankle sprain he sustained in a loss to New York on Dec. 7. With the star forward remaining sidelined, Noah Penda will likely continue to see increased playing time. Wagner should be considered week-to-week until the Magic offer an update on his recovery.

Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was diagnosed with a left high-ankle sprain in early December, which typically carries a recovery timeline of two to four weeks. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to return Friday, so his next chance to play will be Saturday against the Nuggets, but he can be considered doubtful for that contest, barring an update from the Magic.

Wagner was diagnosed Monday with a left high-ankle sprain Monday and could miss 2-to-4 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Magic haven't released an official timeline for Wagner's recovery from the injury he sustained in the first quarter of Saturday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks, but injuries of this sort typically sideline player for multiple weeks. With Wagner sidelined, the Magic are likely to move Tristan da Silva into the starting five, while younger wings such as Jett Howard, Noah Penda and/or Jase Richardson could gain traction in the rotation.

Wagner sustained a lower left leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks and won't return. He'll be re-evaluated when the team returns to Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner landed awkwardly on his left leg and was unable to put any weight on the leg while being helped off the court. He'll finish with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across seven minutes. If the star forward is forced to miss additional time, Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Noah Penda are candidates for increased playing time. The Magic are expected to provide an update on Wagner's status ahead of Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup against the Heat by Monday night.

Wagner exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner landed awkwardly after going up for a pass and was unable to put any weight on his left leg while being helped off the court. It appears unlikely the star forward will return, and if he's unable to do so, Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Noah Penda are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.

Wagner registered 32 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 106-105 win over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner had been struggling with his three-point shot in the three games prior, going just 1-for-6 from distance, but he was able to match his season high in triples Friday night. This was Wagner's second 30-plus-point performance of the season, and the Magic have now won four of their past five games.

Wagner logged 25 points (9-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 36 minutes during the Magic's 114-112 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was another efficient night from the field for Wagner on Wednesday, as he finished as the Magic's leading scorer and second in points to San Antonio's De'Aaron Fox (31). Wagner had a chance to send the game to overtime, but his last-second layup attempt was blocked by Luke Kornet. In the Magic's last 10 games -- corresponding with the absence of Paolo Banchero (groin) -- Wagner has averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 33.9 minutes per game.

Wagner amassed 21 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 112-109 victory over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner didn't have his best shooting performance and missed all three of his attempts from beyond the arc. However, that didn't prevent the star forward from reaching the 20-point plateau for the fourth time in his last five contests. Expect Wagner to remain one of the Magic's go-to offensive weapons until further notice, especially with Paolo Banchero (groin) still out.
