The Orlando Magic made a bold move by extending Franz Wagner's contract for five years at $224 million, solidifying him as a key player for the franchise. Initially met with skepticism due to his previous performance, Wagner has silenced critics with impressive statistics, especially after teammate Paolo Banchero's injury.

Wagner's recent performances have led the team to a six-game winning streak, showcasing his scoring ability and leadership on the court. His contributions have not only elevated his game but also positioned him as a potential All-Star this season.
