The Orlando Magic did not pull Moritz Wagner’s team option. The German is now becoming free agent for the time being.
Bitter news for Moritz Wagner!
The German Big Man of Orlando Magic becomes Free Agent. The Orlando Magic did not draw a corresponding team option over another contract year and $ 11 million in salary, as “ESPN” reports.
Wagner suffered a cruciate ligament tear in December and came to just 30 missions for the franchise in the past season. However, he played a strong season.
Wagner was on the way to new NBA career best values in points per game (12.9), threesome quota (36 percent) and rebounds (4.9).
The Orlando Magic keep the “bird-rights” to Moritz Wagner, which could allow him to once again sign the Orlando Magic as a free agent.
According to NBA insider Michael Scotto, a corresponding interest of the franchise in Wagner should be available. The 28-year-old would then receive less salary.
Moe Wagner has been playing in Orlando together with his brother Franz since 2021.
In addition to Wagner, the $ 2.1 million option of Caleb Houstan was not pulled by the Magic.
