Magic’s Franz Wagner says calf tightened up after Game 4 exit

Franz Wagner said his right calf tightened up after he left the Orlando Magic’s Game 4 win over the Detroit Pistons, and he will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

Wagner exited in the third quarter and did not return. Multiple outlets reported the same postgame update, describing the issue as right calf soreness or tightness. CBS Sports said he was initially listed as questionable to return, then was ruled out for the rest of the game.

The Magic still won Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead. Wagner’s postgame comments were the first clear update on his condition after the injury, and he said he hoped to be better soon.

For Orlando, the immediate concern is whether Wagner can recover in time for Game 5 on April 29. The MRI should provide the next meaningful checkpoint on his availability.
