Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner, the team’s leading scorer, is not dealing with any injury ahead of their matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 30. As the Magic continue their road trip, Wagner’s status is a key factor in their push to maintain playoff contention in the Eastern Conference.

The
Orlando Magic (24-24) will face the Portland Trail Blazers (18-29) at the Moda Center, with tip-off set for 10:00 PM ET. Orlando’s injury report includes three players: Moritz Wagner (out for the season with a knee injury), Gary Harris (probable with a hamstring issue), and Jalen Suggs (questionable due to a quadriceps injury). Franz Wagner’s name was not included in the latest official report, but any lingering issues could impact his performance.

Wagner has been the Magic’s offensive engine this season, averaging 24.7 points per game. With the team already struggling offensively—ranking last in the NBA with 104.1 points per game—any potential setback for
Franz Wagner would be a major concern.
How does the Orlando Magic perform without Franz Wagner?
If Wagner were to miss time, Orlando would need increased production from players like Cole Anthony and Wendell Carter Jr. The Magic’s offense has already been inefficient, ranking 30th in three-pointers made per game (11.3), making Franz Wagner’s scoring presence even more critical.
Defensively, Orlando has been one of the league’s best, allowing just 104.9 points per game (second in the NBA). However, with Suggs’ availability also uncertain, the Magic’s depth will be tested against a Trail Blazers team led by Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe.
Portland Trail Blazers’ injury report (January 30, 2025)
Portland is dealing with injury issues of its own. Jerami Grant is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, while Matisse Thybulle is ruled out due to an ankle issue. The Blazers rank 26th in the league in scoring at 108.1 points per game and will rely heavily on Simons, who averages 18.6 points and 3.4 three-pointers per game.
