Orlando Magic’s Franz Wagner has been out with injury since the start of December. The return of the German NBA star is near, a video shows him on the court.
In the current NBA season (live on ProSieben MAXX, Joyn, ran.de and the ran app), the Orlando Magic are doing well, with 23 wins compared to 20 losses.
Especially considering that Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, two of the team’s key players, are missing or have been missing for a long time, the balance sheet is impressive.
While Banchero is now back on the pitch for the Magic in games, it will be a long time coming for the German national player. The 23-year-old has been out of action since the start of December due to an abdominal muscle injury, but his return is getting closer and closer.
For Friday’s game in Boston, which Orlando lost 94-121, Wagner was placed on the Injury Report with “return to competition reconditioning” status for the second straight year and was no longer listed on the original offense.
In addition, reporter Jason Beede from the “Orlando Sentinel” posted a video of “X” on Friday afternoon that further fueled hopes of a comeback. Wagner can be seen throwing a ball with several employees and colleagues at Boston’s TD Garden.
NBA: Banchero expects the return of Wagner
Naturally, the stress level is not yet equal to a game, but jump shots and turns while dribbling are clearly no longer a big problem one person is very happy about this development: Paolo Banchero.
