Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner suffered a torn right oblique and is out indefinitely, the team announced Saturday.

Wagner sustained the injury Friday night and will be reevaluated in four weeks. The team said his return will depend on how he responds to treatment.

The Magic have now lost both of their star forwards -- Paolo Banchero and Wagner -- to torn oblique injuries, a devastating blow to the franchise. Banchero hasn't played since Oct. 30.

Wagner has put together an All-Star worthy season: 24.4 points, 5.7 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game and lifting Orlando to a third-place 16-9 record in the East.
