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.
Wagner awkwardly fell and rolled the ankle after JT Thor nudged him while Wagner was trying to receive a low pass from Jalen Suggs midway through the second quarter.
He got up and limped back to the locker room before being ruled out later in the game.
X-rays on the ankle were negative, meaning that the x-ray didn’t show any damage.
Wagner finished with 9 points on 3-of-5 shooting in 14 minutes.
