Orlando thaumaturgy send on Franz otto wagner suffered a left wing articulatio genus injury early in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Knicks.

Footage of the fall quickly circulated online, prompting an outpouring of concern from fans. In the clip, Wagner can be seen sitting on the floor while holding his knee.

One person wrote, "We can't buy a break...ugh. Hope it's just a knee contusion and nothing horrible."

Another commented, "Damn man he was hoopin too, speedy recovery."

A third person added, "The pass that Anthony Black just threw to Franz Wagner would be called a hospital ball in the NFL. If you want to throw a lob there you have to do it like a full second earlier. Horrible timing and decision making on that play and it max have ended Franz's all-star case or season."

Another fan wrote, “Damn. That’s a nasty fall from Franz Wagner. Hope he stays healthy and is back on the court so.”
