Thanks to a 25-point eruption from Franz Wagner, the Orlando Magic utilized a 42-point fourth quarter to snap a five-game losing skid and defeat

The Magic went 7-13 without Franz Wagner, who played the expected 24 minutes on Thursday. Orlando also lost center Moritz Wagner, Franz’s older brother, to a season-ending knee injury, and Suggs, who missed his 10th game with a lower back strain.

Magic coach Jamahl Mosley provided key injury updates after Thursday morning shootaround before Orlando hosted Portland at Kia Center.

Franz Wagner scored 25 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter, Paolo Banchero had 32 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, and the Orlando Magic snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Detroit Pistons 121-113.

Wagner was 1-of-12 from the field going into the fourth but recovered to make 9-of-10, etching his name into franchise history

Franz Wagner returned to the Magic lineup Thursday night against the Blazers, scoring a team-high 20 points in a 101-79 home loss.

Franz Wagner’s Jan. 25 performance against the Detroit Pistons is forever etched into the Orlando Magic’s history books. With a 25-point fourth quarter, the budding superstar tied Tracy McGrady’s franchise record for most points in a single quarter.
