Franz Wagner’s Status in Doubt for Game 5 vs Pistons After Calf Injury

The Detroit Pistons may catch a major break ahead of Game 5.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner has been diagnosed with a right calf strain, and his availability for Wednesday’s pivotal matchup against Detroit is uncertain pending treatment response.

Wagner has been a major factor in the series with his scoring, size, and shot creation. If he is limited or unavailable, the pressure shifts heavily onto Paolo Banchero and Orlando’s supporting cast.

For Detroit, this could be the opening needed to climb back into the series.
