Franz Wagner, Orlando Magic forward, will remember his first appearance in the NBA pla-yoff poorly, for several reasons.
Namely, the German had the worst field goal percentage in the history of seven-game series. He shot 1/15 (6.7 percent) from the field and 0/5 from three-point range.
This was surprising because in the previous game, he scored 26 points and was the second-highest scorer in his team’s victory. Only Paolo Banchero scored more points than him. In this series, he was averaging 18.8 points per game.
Franz Wagner entered the NBA in 2021, and he won the FIBA World Cup with the German national team. It’s also interesting to note that the Orlando Magic hasn’t won a playoff series since 2009, when they reached the finals.
