The left ankle injury that has sidelined Magic forward Franz Wagner for 25 of the team’s past 29 games continues to be a problem, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, who reports (via Twitter) that Wagner will be out indefinitely when the team resumes play following the All-Star break.
Wagner continues to experience soreness in that left ankle after being diagnosed with a high ankle sprain back in early December, Charania explains. The 24-year-old returned for two games in mid-January and played in Orlando’s last two contests before the break, but has never been back to 100% and will require addition time and rehabilitation.
The plan, as reported by Charania and confirmed by the Magic (Twitter link), is to reevaluate Wagner in three weeks.
