I’m calling February 20th or 21st. The 20th is the first game back from the All Star game away against the Hawks. The 21st is first home game back from All Star Game against the Grizzlies.

Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Wednesday that Wagner (oblique) hasn't yet been cleared for contact, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. "He's feeling better. Just form shooting more than anything," Mosley said, when asked about what kind of on-court work Wagner has been doing. "No contact at all. No conditioning pieces yet."

After he was diagnosed Dec. 7 with a right oblique tear, Wagner was scheduled to be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks. A month has since passed, but Wagner doesn't appear especially close to making his return to action, given that he's not even taking part in non-contact portions of practice.


This was Jan 8th.


There goes our fantasy that Franz wasnt as severe as PB

The worst-case scenario would be being back in the first game after the all-star break. That would be like 66 days after his injury. Paolo came back 71 games after his injury.

How long did it take Paolo to upgrade from reconditioning to available?

Likely rules out Friday, which means he’d be out of the NBA awards.

I would look at the 23rd or 25th.

Because then we’re on our 6-game road trip.

Don’t be surprised when they hold Franz out till after the All Star break. It will be the perfect built in excuse to defend whatever happens this season. Also gives them the ability to do nothing and run it back yet again saying they need to see these guys play together to fully evaluate team needs. It’s the most Orlando Magic thing to do smh.

Not trolling lol, I hope he’s back by then. But Paolo went out October 30th and came back January 10th. That was almost two and a half months.

Franz went out December 6th, by reports his injury wasn’t as bad as Paolo’s. So 2 months out ONLY puts him at coming back February 6th. The All Star game is February 18th and that’s like another week off to heal. The way they have been playing do you see this front office running him right back out prior to the All Star game or using the added week to make sure he’s fully healed?

They literally just announced today Franz is already back to "return to competition conditioning" status and not "torn oblique" status.

Paolo returned in 13 days when his status changed from injury to reconditioning.

The all-star break is 31 days from now.
