Wagner accumulated 25 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 33 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner wasn't able to connect on any of his three three-point attempts Thursday, but he still managed to finish as the Magic's second-leading scorer behind Paolo Banchero (36). Since returning from a torn right oblique Jan. 23, Wagner has averaged 26.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 32.8 minutes per game, though he's shooting 29.6 percent from three on 5.9 3PA/G over that span.

Wagner finished Monday's 112-106 loss to the Hawks with 37 points (15-29 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner and Paolo Banchero (31) carried the scoring load for the Magic on Monday, but no other teammate scored in double digits in a close loss. Wagner has scored at least 30 points in five of 10 games since returning from a torn right oblique Jan. 23, and his scoring output is needed for a Magic team that entered Monday's game averaging a league-worst 104.0 points per game. Wagner and the Magic will welcome the Hornets on Wednesday.

Wagner accumulated 31 points (12-22 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Magic continue to play solid ball as they inch toward full health, and Wagner has played lights-out since returning from a long absence. Over seven games since his return to action, Wagner has averaged 27.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

Wagner finished Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Jazz with 37 points (8-21 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 18-20 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was the lone Magic starter to score in double digits Saturday, and he and Cole Anthony combined for 60 of Orlando's 99 points. Wagner wasn't the most efficient from the field, but he did most of his damage from the charity stripe, connecting on a career-high 18 free throws. In the five games since his return from a torn right oblique, Wagner has averaged 28.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 32.0 minutes per contest.

Wagner closed with 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-90 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner didn't have his best performance Thursday when it comes to his three-point shooting, but that was perhaps the lone area in which he faltered. The star forward is working his way back from an oblique injury that sidelined him for 20 games in a row between Dec. 8 and Jan. 21, but he hasn't shown any signs of rust after scoring at least 20 points in his four games since returning to action.

Wagner closed with 32 points (10-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 victory over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner scored 25 of his 32 points during the fourth quarter, helping the Magic to a much-needed victory. In just his second game since returning from an oblique injury, Wagner's playing time was arguably just as encouraging as his performance. The fact he hit 30 minutes so quickly bodes well for his immediate future. Look for both Wagner and Paolo Banchero to ramp things up as Orlando looks to atone for what has been a lean couple of weeks.

Wagner contributed 20 points (9-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 101-79 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner returned Thursday after missing Orlando's previous 20 contests due to a torn right oblique, returning to form by leading all Magic players in scoring while finishing as the lone player with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Wagner, who was the top producer for Orlando prior to his injury, should continue to see an increase in both playing time and production as he gets back to 100 percent.

Wagner (oblique) is available for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Orlando's previous 20 contests due to a torn right oblique. Wagner will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup from Tristan da Silva, but he is expected to be limited to around 24 minutes while he fully works his way back into game shape.

Wagner (oblique) went through shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner hasn't played since Dec. 6 due to a torn right oblique but is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest. While it appears as though Wagner will likely be a game-time decision, his participation in practice is a good sign of his availability against Portland.

Wagner (oblique) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Sidelined since Dec. 6 due to a torn right oblique, Wagner appears to be on the cusp of returning to Orlando's lineup. The Magic have the star forward listed as questionable due to return-to-play conditioning, so if he doesn't play Thursday, he would appear to have a good chance of returning Saturday against the Pistons. If Wagner remains out against Portland, Tristan da Silva would likely continue starting for the Magic.
