In 13 games this season, the Orlando Magic are 7-6. After their fifth game of the season, PF Paolo Banchero tore his right oblique. The all-star was injured at the beginning of November and will be reevaluated in four-to-six weeks. While Banchero is out, the Magic have turned to SF Franz Wagner to be their best offensive player.
To begin the 2024-25 season, Banchero was averaging (29.0) points per game for the Magic. With the big man out, Franz Wagner has taken on the duties of being the #1 scoring option. After a five-game skid for Orlando, they’ve won their last four in a row. Wagner has led Orlando in scoring in each of those four wins and their last seven played. They need him to continue playing well until Paolo Banchero can return from injury.
