The Magic went 7-13 without Franz Wagner, who played the expected 24 minutes on Thursday. Orlando also lost center Moritz Wagner, Franz’s older brother, to a season-ending knee injury, and Suggs, who missed his 10th game with a lower back strain.

Wagner was playing at an All-NBA level before he tore his right oblique on Dec. 6. Before Orlando's loss in Milwaukee on Wednesday, the team changed his status on the injury repor

Michigan basketball alumnus Franz Wagner scored 25 points in the fourth as the Detroit Pistons' slim lead evaporated in a 121-113 loss to the Magic.

Banchero, Wagner and Suggs collectively made eight consecutive shots without a miss in a 20-4 run to break open a tight game. Wagner, 1-for-12 from the field through the first three quarters, made nine of 10 shots in the final period for 25 points.

Magic coach Jamahl Mosley provided key injury updates after Thursday morning shootaround before Orlando hosted Portland at Kia Center.

Franz Wagner reflects on his return as the Magic fall 101-79 to the Trail Blazers, extending their losing streak to five games.

Pistons: Losing for only the second time in their last nine road games, the Pistons held the Magic to 18 points in the first quarter before fouls took their toll. The Magic shot 23 free throws in the first half, 38 in the game, and three Pistons finished the game with five fouls each.

Franz Wagner’s Jan. 25 performance against the Detroit Pistons is forever etched into the Orlando Magic’s history books. With a 25-point fourth quarter, the budding superstar tied Tracy McGrady’s franchise record for most points in a single quarter.
