Sudden serious injury! Quitting the NBA indefinitely! Signed a five-year contract with a maximum salary of 200 million yuan this summer

Shams & Magic Official:Wagner Jr. suffered a tear in his right oblique muscle, was sidelined indefinitely, and was reassessed four weeks later.

This offseason, the 23-year-old Wagner Jr. signed a five-year, $224 million super-cap contract extension, and he repaid the Magic's trust with a big explosion this season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game so far, leading the team to a 16-9 record and third in the East.

It is worth mentioning that Wagner Jr. has scored 30+ points in 8 games this season, higher than many stars such as James, Curry, Wembanyama, Irving and Edwards, and is one of the hottest new stars in the league today.

However, next year's All-Star lineup should be able to confirm that there will be a place for Wagner Jr., Xiao Hua is now slowly starting to push the young stars to the forefront, and he can't always rely on those old guys to support the scene.

I believe that many people really know little Wagner seriously, it was in last year's German Super Cup, he almost didn't sweat to score 20 points in the game, leading the German men's basketball team to beat the Chinese men's basketball team by 49 points, close to 2.10 meters tall can be inside and outside and can hold the ball to attack, which is eye-opening.

Also last year, in the World Cup, Wagner Jr. contributed an average of 16.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 42.9%, 25% and 86.4%, including 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals in the final to help the German men's basketball team win the championship, and finally won the MVP of the final of the tournament and was selected for the best team in the second team.

In this year's Paris Olympics, compared with the World Cup, Wagner Jr.'s performance has improved, averaging 18.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, and the shooting rate is 46.6%, but unfortunately only helped the German men's basketball team finish fourth.

Although the current leader of the German men's basketball team is still 31-year-old Schröder, everyone knows that Wagner Jr. will soon be the team's new standard-bearer, and at the same time will become the new German tank after NBA legend Nowitzki, which is an absolute consensus.

Wagner Jr. did not disappoint the Magic, and naturally he will not disappoint his national team, and there is no doubt that the future of this buddy is bright and vibrant!
