“Offensively, he is real tall,” Wizards’ Bilal Coulibaly said about #Magic forward Franz Wagner. “He is a good offensive player. Defensively, he is long and he has long arms and everything and gets deflections. He is good.” pic.x.com/OMw4AhmOSa – 10:15 PM

“Just continuing to apply pressure on the defensive end … Just something we knew we had to turn up a little bit in the second half,” #Magic guard Anthony Black said when I asked what was Orlando’s mindset coming out of halftime against the Wizards.

Jason Beede: Franz Wagner on Mac McClung’s third straight dunk contest title: “I thought it was very impressive. Mac, obviously, crushed it again. I thought [Stephon] Castle had some really nice dunks as well. It’s really difficult to impress people these days with that kind of stuff so I thought it was really entertaining.” -via Twitter @therealBeede / February 18, 2025
Jason Beede: Franz Wagner on his All-Star break and the first practice back: “It was good. I had a good break. Good to get away a little bit and just relax a little bit the mind and the body. I thought it was a good first day. [We] played a little bit and it was good to get back to it.” -via Twitter @therealBeede / February 18, 2025
Regardless of how they spend the break, the Magic can refocus for the final stretch of the season. “Rest your body, rest your mind [and] come back fresh for the last 26 games,” Franz Wagner said. “And then have the right mindset coming into every game knowing that, our situation, we can’t take any game for granted.” -via Orlando Sentinel / February 14, 2025
