Moritz Wagner goes down with knee injury
Add Moritz Wagner to Orlando's rapidly expanding injury list. The Magic's backup center and the older brother of injured forward Franz Wagner went down with a potentially serious left knee injury with 2:33 left in the first quarter of Saturday night's game against the Miami Heat. The Magic came back to win 121-114, but the elation of their comeback was tempered by the prospect of a long absence of a player they consider to be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate.
