Franz Wagner appeared to be limping off the floor as Markelle Fultz subbed in for him.
Could be Wagner’s ankle bothering him. He went back to the locker room. – 9:03 PM

Great one-on-one defense by Franz Wagner against RJ Barrett to help force that turnover. Cole Anthony dove on the floor for the steal. Moe Wagner with the dunk in transition.
Magic leading 88-80 with 8:13 remaining. – 9:01 PM

And Franz Wagner hits the tech to start the third – and it’s 54-45 Orlando. – 8:24 PM

Franz Wagner with a layup at the buzzer to give the Magic a 24-22 lead at the end of the 1Q.

Wizards defense is beyond frustrating to watch
Magic running down the clock at the end of the half and you let Daniel Gafford matchup on Cole Anthony then Corey Kispert helps down and Franz Wagner drains a 3 – 8:04 PM

“These are important games for the other teams too. I think it’s good for us to play against teams where every possession matters for them as well.” – @OrlandoMagic forward Franz Wagner
