The Free Agency in the NBA has started. In the best basketball league in the world, this is traditionally the time of the big change. Players without valid contracts are then on the free market and attract the interest of the teams.
This was also true for two Germans this year: Dennis Schröder and Moritz Wagner. However, their initial situations could not have been different. While Schröder signed a three -year contract of $ 44 million at the Sacramento Kings after strong performance at the Detroit Pistons, Wagner is still without a team. Is there a real drama around the Berliner?
NBA: Wagner with bad luck
It was only last summer that the 28-year-old signed a two-year contract with Orlando Magic, where his brother Franz also played. However, the contract included a team option, so Magic secured the right to get out of the contract after the season. And Orlando recently made use of that.

The season had started so well for Wagner. The center played the best basketball of his career, and his litter rates from the triple line could also be seen. But then the shock in December last year: cruciate ligament tear. Since then, Wagner has not been on the court. Probably the main reason why Orlando exit the contract that would have given the German around eleven million dollars in the coming season. But what’s next with Wagner?
Magic stay not excluded
This is not predictable. There are currently no reports on how big the league is interested in the German international. It should be clear that the injury does not play in the cards. Otherwise, the Magic would certainly not have used their team option in Wagner’s contract.
More news for you:
However, an exit from Orlando is not carved in stone. A scenario, in which the Magic binds its center at cheaper conditions is by no means unrealistic. However, Wagner also knows that he is certainly one of the best remaining players who are still looking for a new team. A farewell from Orlando also remains an option.
