Wagner is coming off a strong season where he helped power the Magic to a fifth-place finish in the East for their first playoff appearance since 2019-20. He thrived as the first big man off the bench and averaged a career-best 10.9 points on 60.1 percent shooting from the field in 17.7 minutes per game, which is only the third-highest mark in his six-year career. Wagner had more than a few standout performances on the offensive end during the regular season, including 18 games with more than 15 points and four games with more than 20. He turned in a season-high 27 points on 9-for-13 shooting, including 1-for-3 from deep and 8-for-9 from the foul line in a home win over the Celtics in November. Additionally, he racked up at least 10 rebounds on four occasions, including three double-doubles, and he also recorded three games with at least three assists and no turnovers. Wagner was relatively limited in the postseason, where he averaged 6.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 1.1 turnovers in 15.1 minutes through seven games against the Cavaliers. After locking in a two-year, $22 million deal in the offseason, he is set to remain a key part of the up-and-coming Magic core and has room to grow in his role. Wagner also averaged 9.8 rebounds, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 17.0 minutes per game over six appearances for Germany during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
