Pours in 32 points Wagner amassed 32 points (12-24 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-99 win over the Suns.

Impact Wagner followed up a 31-point outing against Philadelphia with another strong total against the depleted Suns, who are now 1-5 without Kevin Durant (calf). It's a nice statement road win for the 9-6 Magic, who are off to a great start thanks to big totals from Wagner. Through 15 games, he's averaged 22.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals.

Game-high 31 points vs. 76ers Wagner recorded 31 points (10-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Friday's 98-86 victory over Philadelphia.

Impact Wagner extended his streak of 20-plus points Friday, and he managed to reach 30 points for the second time in his last three games. It was his first double-double of the 2024-25 regular season and the 2021 first-round pick has taken on a larger role on offense while Paolo Banchero is rehabbing from a torn right oblique. Across the nine games that Banchero has been sidelined, Wagner has averaged 24.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals over 33.3 minutes per game.

Stays hot as leading scorer Wagner ended with 29 points (9-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 94-90 victory over Indiana.

Impact Wagner continued his recent hot stretch of leading the Orlando offense by posting a game-best point mark while handing out a team-high-tying assist total in a winning effort. Wagner, who connected on a team-high trio of threes, was nearly perfect from the line Wednesday while coming up one point shy of the 30-point mark. Wagner has tallied at least 20 points in six straight contests, adding five or more dimes in five consecutive outings.

Impressive streak continues Wagner supplied 32 points (14-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 114-89 win over Charlotte.

Impact Wagner was the one player who needed to step up big time with Paolo Banchero (oblique) sidelined, and the German forward has delivered when called upon duty. This 32-point effort was a season-high mark for him, and this was also his fifth straight game with at least 20 points, a span in which he's averaging 26.4 points per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the floor.

Goes for 27 points in win Friday Wagner notched 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 115-88 win over New Orleans.

Impact Wagner has been tasked with handling a bigger role on offense due to the absence of Paolo Banchero (oblique), and he's stepping up when called upon duty. Wagner has scored at least 22 points in his last three appearances, in which he's shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from three. Expect Wagner to remain the Magic's go-to player on offense as long as Banchero remains out, which should be a few more weeks in a best-case scenario.

Big first half in standout showing Wagner produced 28 points (10-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 118-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact Wagner put on a show for Orlando, including getting off to a red-hot start in the first half to conclude the contest with a game-best scoring total and came two points short of the 30-point mark. Wagner, who scored 21 points in the first half alone, also handed out a team-high-tying assist total and was second on the team in scoring in Wednesday's losing effort. Wagner recorded his fifth outing of the year with at least 20 points, doing so now in two straight contests.

Makes most of limited minutes Wagner ended with 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 108-85 loss to Dallas.

Impact Wagner was limited to just 25 minutes in Sunday's loss due to the nature of the contest -- it was a blowout by the time the third quarter started and Orlando ended up being limited to a season-low 85 points. Wagner started the season on a tear but has been trending in the wrong direction of late. He's failed to reach the 20-point mark in four games in a row, averaging 11.0 points per game despite shooting 42.6 percent from the field in that span. The Magic need more out of the fourth-year forward, especially with Paolo Banchero (oblique) sidelined for the next few weeks.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Balanced showcase in loss Wagner finished with 17 points (8-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 120-109 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Wagner did a little bit of everything for Orlando both offensively and on the glass, ending Friday's contest second among Magic players in scoring and assists while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total. Wagner posted his first double digit outing in his last three contests, having tallied at least 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in three appearances.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Officially deemed available Wagner (illness) is available for Friday's matchup against the Cavaliers.

Impact The forward played a limited role over Orlando's last two matchups (34 total minutes) due to the illness, though he is expected to return as the top option with Paolo Banchero (oblique) out. Through five regular-season outings, Wagner has averaged 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks while shooting 51.6 percent from the field across 26.0 minutes per game. The 23-year-old has also scored 20-plus points in three games thus far.

Questionable for Friday Wagner (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Wagner left Wednesday's game against Chicago early due to illness and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest. With Paolo Banchero (abdomen) also questionable, Jonathan Isaac, Jett Howard and Caleb Houstan could all see increased playing time.

Impact Wagner also exited Monday's game against the Pacers early with an illness, so the sickness isn't a new issue. Wagner logged seven points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block across 23 minutes before leaving. He'll have a day to recover before Orlando travels to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers on Friday.

Goes to locker room Wagner went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Mason Williams of SI.com reports.

Impact Wagner checked out of the contest early in the fourth quarter and headed back to the locker room with an undisclosed injury. While he's absent, Jett Howard, Gary Harris and Caleb Houstan could see more action.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Wagner (illness) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Wagner attempted to play through the illness Monday but lasted only 11 minutes, posting seven points (3-5 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal before he was shut down. However, it appears the forward is feeling better and should be full go for Wednesday. Wagner averaged 25.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 32.0 minutes over Orlando's first three regular-season games.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Monday Wagner (illness) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Wagner was questionable for Monday's game due to an illness, but he was able to suit up after going through pregame warmups. However, he was on the bench to begin the second half and he will not return to the game, and he'll end his night with seven points, one rebound, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes. Gary Harris, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony should all see increased work while Wagner is sidelined.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go vs. Pacers Wagner (illness) is available to play against Indiana on Monday.

Impact An illness had Wagner tagged as a game-time decision, but the 2021 first-round pick is good to go for Monday's contest. Through the first three games of the regular season, Wagner is averaging 25.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals across 32.0 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Wagner is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to an illness.

Impact Wagner was a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his availability Monday. He joins Goga Bitadze (foot), Jonathan Isaac (hip) and Tristan da Silva (illness) as questionable, so the Magic may be extremely shorthanded versus Indiana.
