  1. From Ian Begley:

    > Franz Wagner just landed awkwardly after an Ariel Hukporti foul seems to have suffered left knee injury. He’s been down on floor for several minutes and is now being helped off the court, not putting any weight on left leg.

    #Edit:

    From the Orlando Magic:

    > Franz Wagner suffered a lower left leg injury during the first quarter today at New York.

    > He is out for the remainder of the game and will be re-evaluated upon the team’s return to Orlando.

  6. Brutal man…. What are the odds both brothers tear their acl in less than a year?

    Hoping that’s not the case ofc but it does not look good

  10. Man that is brutal. Feel so bad for Franz.

    Hukporti plays for the German national team and is friends with Franz for anyone unaware…

  16. I am surprised that stuff like this doesn’t happen more often.
    These guys are 200 pound athletes jumping all over each other 100s of times a game.

    Prayers up to Franz

  18. Franz just lost out on another almost guaranteed All Star selection because of injury

  21. Didnt look intentional. But man. Never been this sad over a Magic injury. Turned the game off as soon as Franz got carried off

  24. Why would you throw a lob when there are two dudes trailing super close to the catcher.

  25. God be like, oh the Magic were starting to put it together? *hurls stone at Wagner’s knee*

  30. moe is about to come back and now franz is likely out for the season…fml. This is so fucking sad, especially with the state of th east, magic legit had an amazin chance for a deep run

  31. What the hell. Just like last year, Franz was playing so well and then suddenly he gets injured again. Damn it. I really hope it’s nothing serious. This might hurt his chances of making the All-Star team again. It’s such a waste. The Magic just can’t stay healthy.

  32. Magic stars avoid injury challenge (impossible)

    In all seriousness, hope this isn’t a lingering problem, although both Franz and Paolo have missed large stretches of multiple seasons now (or maybe just Paolo, I could be wrong on this).

  34. Another day, another lower body injury in the NBA. I feel like we gotta be nearing some breaking point soon. Adam Silver and the league must start doing something about this (watch it be just increasing the number of games to 90 next season, lol).

    But seriously, it’s going to hurt the overall product if so many star players are out for the season or playoffs because of injuries.

  36. Man that lob was so terrible it turned into a transition jump ball… Poor Franz, hope he avoided any long term damage

  39. At this point I believe in the conspiracy somebody put a hex on the Magic squad.

    anytime we are fully healthy one of our main trio gotta go down, its ridiculous.

    I really dont know when I will see my team play at 100% 🙁 with no lingering health problems to deal with or rehab issues

  42. I hate that the NBA playoffs have come down to whose team lucked out the most and had the least amount of significant injuries throughout the season. It didn’t used to be this bad.

    Really just want a healthy playoffs :/
