Cologne (SID) – Basketball shooting star Franz Wagner has also lost the Christmas game of the North American professional league NBA with the badly shaken Orlando Magic. The 20-year-old rookie scored a solid 13 points, but could not prevent the 83:93 in the three-time champions Miami Heat. For Orlando it was the 27th defeat in the 34th game of the season, the play-offs are already a long way off.
At Orlando there are currently six players in the league’s COVID protocol, including Franz’s older brother Moritz. Six other Magic actors were injured and unavailable. “You expect the unexpected,” said Magic coach Jamahl Mosley.
