Moritz Wagner forced to leave game due to left knee injury

Orlando Magic center Moritz Wagner was forced to exit Saturday's game against the Miami Heat after sustaining a left knee injury.

The 27-year-old center drove to the lane when he jump-stopped and his left leg gave out. Wagner looked to get up but stayed down while grabbing at his left knee.

He was eventually helped to the Magic locker room, his arms wrapped over the shoulders of Jonathan Isaac and Jalen Suggs. Wagner put very little weight, if any at all, on his left leg.

Wagner is averaging 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists. He’s one of two Magic players to appear in every game so far this year.

Orlando was already without Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris in Saturday’s game with Miami.

Moritz’s brother Franz suffered a torn right oblique in early December and is out indefinitely.
