The Orlando Magic around the two German basketball world champions Franz and Moritz Wagner have lost their third game in a row in the NBA.
The team from Florida lost to the Sacramento Kings 135:138 after double overtime. Franz Wagner had to be replaced early with an injury.
Wagner collapsed after just five minutes of play when he tried to block an opponent’s attempted throw. The Magic announced during the game that X-rays had ruled out a serious injury, but Wagner did not return. So far, the 22-year-old has played in all 34 games of the Magic season. His brother Moritz didn’t get past two points. The Magic’s best thrower was Paolo Banchero with 43 points.

After the third quarter the guests had already scored 107 points, Theis had six points and three rebounds.
The New York Knicks with Isaiah Hartenstein defeated the Chicago Bulls 116:110 and achieved their third home win in a row.
