The eighth-seeded Orlando Magic are on the precipice of a historic NBA playoff upset, with Jamahl Mosley's squad leading the Detroit Pistons 3-1 in their first-round series.
One of the stars who brought them there could miss the potential closeout game.
Franz Wagner, who left Game 4 against the Detroit Pistons late in the third quarter, has been diagnosed with a right calf strain, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The former Michigan star had 19 points, five rebounds and four steals before the injury.
The Magic survived Wagner's exit to win 94-88 in an old school, rock fight of a game.
Wagner's status for Game 5 is "uncertain," Charania reports, and will be determined by his response to treatment. Orlando certainly needs him, as the physicality of Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. has been the difference-maker in its series with the top-seeded Pistons.
Game 5 is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday in Detroit. The pressure is on for the Pistons regardless of Wagner's availability, as Orlando is seeking to become the seventh team in NBA history to knock off a top seed in Round 1.
