Wagner will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, but the Magic are now listing him on their injury report with "return to competition reconditioning" rather than with a right oblique tear, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Our View
The change in Wagner's designation is noteworthy, as it indicates that he's healed from the oblique strain and will now merely need to start ramping up again following the five-week absence. Beede notes that Paolo Banchero recently returned from a right oblique tear of his own and was sidelined for about two weeks before playing after the Magic changed his designation in late December to "return to competition reconditioning." Assuming Wagner requires a similar two-week ramp-up period, he'll still miss several more games but should be back in action by the end of the month.
