Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner received positive news after an MRI revealed he suffered a high left ankle sprain, the team announced.
Wagner underwent the MRI on Monday after he was injured in the first quarter of the Magic's 106-100 loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday. The injury appeared to be much worse after his left leg bent awkwardly upon a hard landing after a foul. Wagner initially grabbed his leg around his knee.
The MRI showed no structural damage to his left leg, sources told ESPN. The Magic said that Wagner's return will depend on how he responds to treatment.
Orlando will have to play the Miami Heat in the NBA Cup quarterfinal without Wagner.
The forward has been Orlando's best and steadiest player, averaging 23.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and improving his 3-point
