The Orlando Magic have shared terrible news regarding Moe Wagner, arguably their best player in the absence of their two stars, Paolo Banchero and Moritz's brother, Franz. The German forward suffered a season-ending injury that will keep him sidelined until the 2025-26 season and put the Magic in a very complex position.

NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Wagner suffered a torn ACL in his left knee that cut his season short. Wagner was averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 56.2% from the field and 71.8% from the free-throw line.
