Moe Wagner's career year is over due to torn ACL

Yesterday at 02:34 PM

The Orlando Magic have been dealing with a lot of key injuries this season, and they just suffered another one to Moe Wagner, who will be out for the remainder of the season, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

“Orlando Magic forward Moe Wagner has suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee, sources told ESPN. Wagner averaged 12.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 18.8 minutes as a strong candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, ranking second in the NBA in total points off the bench,” Charania wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The Magic are already without Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero for some time, and now they will have to continue to go deep in their bench throughout the season.

Moe Wagner out for the season

Moe Wagner suffered the ACL injury during the Magic’s recent game against the Miami Heat. He was having a strong season coming off the bench and was making himself a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year. He ranks second in the NBA in total scoring off the bench and was averaging a career-high in points, rebounds, and steals, and three-point shooting.

The Magic had been able to manage without Paolo Banchero after he was injured earlier in the season. A few weeks ago, Franz Wagner suffered an injury, and the Magic had still been able to win some games. Now, without Wagner, they’re probably hoping that they can get them back as soon as possible. They still are one of the top-five teams in the Eastern Conference, but as the season continues, they’re going to need their star players.

The Magic are known for having one of the best defenses in the league, and they’ll have to keep that mentality for the season as they try to manage all of the major injuries to their offensive players.
