Good to go for Wednesday
Wagner is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Analyse
Wagner is off the injury report after missing Monday's game against the Pistons for injury maintenance. Wagner is averaging a modest 19.1 minutes over his last three appearances.
6. April 2026
Resting Monday
Wagner has been ruled out for Monday against the Pistons due to left high-ankle sprain injury management.
Analyse
As expected, Wagner will miss the second leg of the Magic's back-to-back set for rest purposes after he logged 20 minutes and recorded 11 points, five rebounds, two assists and one block in Sunday's 112-108 win over the Pelicans. With Wagner sitting out, Tristan da Silva is the most likely candidate to take his spot in the starting five Monday.

Modest line in return
Wagner supplied 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and two assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-101 loss to the Hawks.
Analyse
Returning from a 22-game absence, Wagner saw a limited workload with the starters Wednesday, pushing Tristan da Silva back to the bench. The Magic will likely continue to gradually build his minutes back up, and he's probably going to see some maintenance in the final couple of weeks as well.

Will start in return
Wagner (ankle) will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Analyse
The 24-year-old forward will return from a 22-game absence due to a left high-ankle sprain and reclaim his spot in the starting five from Tristan da Silva. Wagner sustained the ankle injury Dec. 7 and has played in just four games since, so he's likely to operate under a minutes restriction during his return to action.

Cleared to play Wednesday
Wagner (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analyse
Wagner sustained a left high-ankle sprain Dec. 7 and has played in just four games since. However he'll shed his questionable tag and return Wednesday from a 22-game absence due to the ankle injury. The 24-year-old will likely operate under a minutes restriction and may even come off the bench against Atlanta. Over four appearances (two starts) since picking up the injury, he has averaged 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 22.8 minutes per contest.

Listed as questionable
Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Analyse
This is a huge step in the right direction for Wagner as he inches closer to a return. The forward was recently cleared for 5-on-5, and it sounds like he may warm up before a decision is made on his status. Tristan da Silva is likely to see a reduced role if Wagner gets the green light.
