Get ready, Orlando Magic fans! Moritz Wagner is set to make his triumphant return to the court this Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans. This news comes after a long road to recovery from a devastating ACL injury.
This is huge for the Magic, as Wagner was a key player last season, even being considered for the Sixth Man of the Year award. Before his injury in December, he was putting up career-high numbers, averaging 12.9 points per game and shooting an impressive 56.2% from the field. Imagine the impact he could have had if he hadn't been sidelined!
The Magic clearly value Wagner's contributions, as they re-signed him this summer to a one-year deal worth $5 million. This shows their commitment to keeping him in Orlando and utilizing his talents.
For those who may not know, Moritz Wagner is the brother of Magic star Franz Wagner. Moritz was initially drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers as the 25th pick in the 2018 NBA draft. After playing for three different teams in his first three seasons, he eventually found his way to Orlando, where he's clearly made a positive impact.
