  • Field goals: 7-of-13
  • Free throws: 2-of-2
  • Assists: 2
  • Blocks: 1

The guard/forward contributed in multiple areas despite the midgame scare. His presence helped Orlando close out the win.

Injury update

Wagner exited briefly in the third quarter with a left knee complaint. Medical staff cleared him to return later in the game.

Previous health context

Earlier this season, Wagner suffered a high left ankle sprain. That injury sidelined him for a significant stretch.

Fantasy and roster implications

The knee episode is worth tracking ahead of the regular-season finish. Fantasy managers should monitor status for Orlando’s final two regular-season games.

Coaches and trainers are likely to manage his minutes if any swelling or soreness recurs. Updates will follow as the team provides medical feedback.
