Franz Wagner just injured his right foot/leg and went straight back to the Magic locker room to get checked out. He was in pain immediately and asked to be taken out of the game. – 8:59 PM

Looks like a Heat player fell on Franz Wagner’s leg while trying to get back in transition.
Franz was trying to hop it off but asked to get taken out. Getting checked out by trainer. – 8:58 PM
