Magic re-sign Moe Wagner

The Orlando Magic have re-signed free agent center Moe Wagner, the team announced Monday.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, it’s a one-year, $5 million deal.

Wagner, 28, played in only 30 games (one start) last season with Orlando before tearing his ACL in December. Last season, Wagner averaged 12.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per contest. 

He was originally signed as a free agent by Orlando on Apr. 27, 2021. He has appeared in 241 NBA regular-season games (33 starts) with the Magic, averaging 10.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. 

Originally selected in the first round (25th overall) of the 2018 NBA Draft by the L.A. Lakers, Wagner has played in 363 career NBA regular-season games (57 starts) with the Lakers, Washington, Boston, and Orlando, averaging 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest.

Wagner will continue to play with his younger brother, Franz, in the upcoming season. Due to the ACL injury, Wagner is expected to return sometime in December.
