Orlando Magic second-year forward Franz Wagner left Friday’s road game against the Charlotte Hornets because of a sprained left ankle, the team announced during the third quarter.

Early showing from Admiral Schofield, who just subbed in alongside Jalen Suggs for Paolo Banchero and Gary Harris.
Rare minutes without either one of Franz Wagner or Paolo on the floor. – 7:28 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo blocks Franz Wagner’s layup attempt at one end, gets pass from Grayson Allen and finishes with a dunk at the other end. Boom. Boom.
Now THAT is a Team Giannis sequence, unrepresented in SLC. – 10:05 PM

Hm, Franz Wagner and Gary Harris sub back in late in the 3Q for Markelle Fultz and Paolo Banchero.
Usually this is when Bol Bol would sub in — alongside Franz. Wonder if that means we won’t see Bol on the floor in the second half. – 9:53 PM
