Wagner agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with the Nets on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner will move on from Orlando after six seasons with the franchise. The deal is fully guaranteed and includes a second-year mutual option. During the 2025-26 regular season, after successfully recovering from an ACL injury, Wagner averaged 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest.

Wagner posted five points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

After beginning the season on the shelf amid his knee surgery recovery, Wagner never quite made his way into much fantasy relevance in 2025-26. Set for unrestricted free agency this offseason, the 29-year-old big man averaged 6.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.9 minutes per contest across 36 regular-season games.

Wagner (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 138-127 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner had seen the court in each of the Magic's previous five games, but he played under 10 minutes in four of those outings, and two appearances came in blowouts. With Friday's contest proving to be more competitive throughout, head coach Jamahl Mosley leaned exclusively on Goga Bitadze (12 minutes) as the backup center when starter Wendell Carter (36 minutes) was off the court.

Wagner (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Magic's 128-126 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

After his season got off to a delayed start while he finished off his recovery from the ACL surgery he underwent in January 2025, Wagner has struggled to return to form since being cleared to make his debut just over two months ago. While Wagner had been an efficient scorer off the second unit over his previous four full seasons in Orlando, he's converted at a lowly 41.9 percent clip from the field and 32.8 percent rate from downtown through 29 appearances. Since Wagner doesn't offer much rim protection to make up for the lack of shooting efficiency, head coach Jamahl Mosley appears to have at least temporarily pulled the plug on the German big man. Goga Bitadze has now moved ahead of Wagner to serve as the backup to starting center Wendell Carter in each of the past two contests.

Wagner recorded three points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and nine rebounds over 18 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner continues to play a minor role off the Orlando bench. Across 23 appearances, he's averaging 13.1 minutes per contest with 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 45.3 percent shooting from the field.

Wagner registered 12 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Lines like these were the norm for Wagner before his ACL tear during the 2024-25 season. Wagner is instant offense off the bench, but his limited workloads combined with Orlando's crowded frontcourt limits his overall upside.

Wagner chipped in 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds over 17 minutes during Saturday's 120-117 victory over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner scored in double digits for the second straight game, falling two rebounds short of what would have been his first double-double of the season. It appears as though Wagner has supplanted Goga Bitadze in the rotation, serving as the primary backup behind Wendell Carter. However, his role remains limited, as he is averaging just 7.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 10.0 minutes per game over his past seven appearances.

Wagner (rest) will be available for Thursday's game against Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner was held out of Sunday's game against the Grizzlies for injury management related to his previous knee injury. He's no longer appearing on the injury report, however, and he could see a handful of rotation minutes against Charlotte.

Wagner has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies in London due to left knee injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner missed the first 39 games of the season while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in December 2024. He was cleared to play in both of the Magic's last two games, but he'll be in street clothes for Sunday's tilt, with his next opportunity to play being Thursday against the Hornets. Goga Bitadze will operate as the Magic's primary backup center Sunday, while Wagner's absence should reopen a spot in the rotation for Jonathan Isaac.

Wagner (knee) registered eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 10 minutes in Sunday's 128-118 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner made his season debut Sunday, after he had been sidelined for the Magic's first 39 games of the campaign while completing his recovery from Jan. 8, 2025, surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Before he sustained the knee injury last season, Wagner had been regularly serving as the top backup to Wendell Carter, who missed Sunday's game due to a right hip strain. As a result, Goga Bitadze moved into the starting five Sunday, but it's unclear if the Magic will have room in the rotation for both Bitadze and Wagner once Carter is back to full health. Even if Wagner continues to maintain a regular role on the second unit, the Magic are likely to ramp him up slowly, given he's coming off the major knee injury.
