Orlando Magic star Franz Wagner
has suffered a torn oblique and will be sidelined indefinitely,
according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Per Charania, Wagner suffered
the injury Friday night against the 76ers and will be reevaluated
in four weeks. 

This is devastating news for the
Magic as Wagner suffers the same injury as his co-star Paolo
Banchero, who last played on October 30.

Orlando currently sits at third
in the East with a 16-9 record and will face the Milwaukee Bucks in
the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday.

ANALYSIS: This is a tough blow
for the Magic, who will now be without both Wagner and Banchero.
Wagner is averaging 24.4 PTS, 5.7 AST, and 5.6 REB this season as
he has played like an all-star to lead the team in all aspects sans
Banchero.
