The Orlando Magic have announced that forward Franz Wagner will be sidelined for Game 6 against the Detroit Pistons due to a right calf strain. This marks Wagner's second consecutive game missed, as the team takes a cautious approach to his recovery. Wagner suffered the injury during the third quarter of Game 4, where he had to exit the game, and he was seen in a walking boot on Wednesday in Detroit. Despite Wagner's absence in Game 5, the Magic managed to maintain a series lead of 3-2 after a 116-109 loss. Paolo Banchero rose to the occasion, scoring 45 points in Game 5, while Pistons star Cade Cunningham also capitalized on Wagner's absence, matching Banchero's score and setting a franchise playoff record. In the series, Wagner averaged 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists before the injury. A potential Game 7 would take place on Sunday in Detroit.
