Considering how it looked when the injury happened, this is good news.<\/p>\n

An MRI revealed Orlando’s Franz Wagner has suffered a high ankle sprain, the team announced Monday.<\/p>\n

While the Magic would not put a timetable on his return, ESPN’s Shams Charania announced 2-4 weeks, which is in line with what Jeff Stotts of In Street Clothes has found <\/a>in his database of injuries, players usually miss about 10 games with a high ankle sprain, but that time can vary.<\/p>\n

The injury occurred near the end of the first quarter on Sunday, when the Magic were in Madison Square Garden facing the Knicks. During a fast break, New York big man Ariel Hukporti flew in to block a pass to Wagner, and the German went to the ground and instantly grabbed his left knee. He had to be helped off the court.<\/p>\n

Wagner has played at an All-Star level this season, averaging 23.4 points and 6.2 rebounds a game while shooting 35.4% from 3-point range. He exits the lineup just as Paolo Banchero returns from his groin strain.<\/p>\n

Wagner will be out Tuesday when the Magic host the Miami Heat in an NBA Cup quarterfinal game, with a trip to Las Vegas on the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Considering how it looked when the injury happened, this is good news.
