AUGUST 2 • NBA.COM

Franz Wagner - Shines in win over France Wagner recorded 26 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT) in Friday's 85-71 win over France.

Impact Wagner continues to thrive for Germany in the Olympics, and he co-led the team in scoring in this huge win against the host nation. Wagner has surpassed the 20-point mark in two of his three Olympic appearances thus far, and he should remain a steady source of offensive stats in the knockout rounds.

Franz Wagner - Struggles from deep in Olympics win Wagner totaled 17 points (7-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four steals, three assists and one block across 31 minutes in Germany's 86-73 win over Brazil in the Paris Olymp...

Impact Aside from a disastrous second quarter, Germany's stars were stellar on the defensive end with Wagner and Dennis Schroder combining for eight steals compared to only seven for Brazil. However, Wagner's three-point shooting has been an issue in the group phase thus far. The 22-year-old shot just 2-for-8 from deep Saturday against Japan, and he has shot a combined 2-for-14 now through two games. His poor shooting from deep has yet to stop the forward from racking up points, as he has still averaged 20 per game in the group stage. Wagner and Germany will be moving on to the quarter finals after the group phase, and the squad will likely need him to step up from range if they are going to compete for a medal in the Paris Olympics.

Franz Wagner - Game-high 22 points in win Wagner racked up 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes in Germany's 97-77 win over Japan in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

Impact Wagner served as Germany's top option Saturday, and while he did struggle from beyond the arc he still had a great outing in a blowout victory. The 22-year-old will likely be tasked with leading Germany to a successful Olympic run, and he will continue to get his fair share of looks on the offensive side of the ball. Wagner is coming off a career-best season with the Magic, during which he averaged 19.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.5 minutes across 72 regular-season appearances.

Moritz Wagner - Suiting up for Germany Wagner is on the German national team roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Impact Wagner is coming off a strong 2023-24 campaign for the Magic in which he averaged 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.7 minutes across 80 regular-season appearances. For Germany, Wagner should be one of the team's primary options in the frontcourt alongside Daniel Theis.

Impact Wagner led Germany in both points and steals Monday, keeping the squad on pace with Team USA in the close loss. The 22-year-old played a game-high 29 minutes, and he will likely continue to do so in the Paris Olympics as he will be expected to help lead Germany to a successful Olympic campaign. Wagner is coming off a career-best year with Orlando, during which he averaged 19.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.5 minutes across 72 regular-season appearances.

Cory Joseph - Joins Orlando on two-year deal Joseph and the Magic agreed to a two-year deal Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact This could be a strong indication that Orlando has moved on from bringing back Markelle Fultz in free agency. A 13-year NBA veteran, Joseph holds career regular-season averages of 6.9 points, 3.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds, but it's unlikely he'll play a big role in Orlando with the likes of Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black in the backcourt.

Tristan da Silva - Scores 23 in SL Da Silva recorded 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 91-86 win over the Pelicans in the Summer League.

Impact Da Silva built upon a 13-point outing in Friday's win over the Cavaliers with a 23-point outburst against the Pelicans Sunday. The Colorado product has been a highly efficient scorer, shooting 57.9 percent from the floor and 54.5 percent from three. Despite the strong start to Summer League, Da Silva will face an uphill battle to a significant role for the Magic come the regular season due to their depth at the wing positions.
