Franz Wagner was cleared from day-to-day status on the Orlando Magic's Monday injury report. He is no longer listed ahead of Orlando's game at the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
What happened
The Magic's injury report issued Monday, Sept. 28 at 3:51 p.m. ET listed Franz Wagner as cleared, a change from his previous day-to-day designation. He had carried day-to-day status since Sunday, Sept. 6, when the report listed a right leg calf issue. The Monday report included no additional comment on the clearance, and no detail was given beyond the status change. Wagner no longer appears among Orlando's injury designations.
What it means for the Magic
Orlando's next game is at the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 8:00 p.m. ET, and Wagner's clearance means he is not held out by the injury report for that matchup. Last season he averaged 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 34 games. In games he did not play, Paolo Banchero averaged 34.7 minutes and 22.2 points, Desmond Bane 33.6 minutes and 20.1 points, and Anthony Black 29.8 minutes and 15.0 points. The Magic have not played a regular-season game yet this season, so there is no 2026-27 record with or without him.
What to watch
No return timeline was announced for Wagner beyond the clearance itself. The next injury report will show whether he stays off the list through the Oct. 7 game at Memphis. Orlando's report still lists Izaiyah Nelson as day-to-day with a left ankle issue and Jonathan Isaac as day-to-day with a left knee issue.
Is Franz Wagner playing at Grizzlies?
He was cleared from day-to-day status on the Sept. 28 injury report and is no longer listed on it. No further update on his status for the Oct. 7 game at Memphis has been announced.
When will Franz Wagner be back?
He is already off the injury report as of the Sept. 28 clearance. He had been day-to-day since Sept. 6 with a right leg calf issue, and no separate return date was announced.
