QUOTABLE

Magic guard Anthony Black on what Franz Wagner's return to the lineup means: "A lot. One of our best wing defenders, obviously one of our best offensive players. So just having him back gives us a lot of confidence. It just makes us able to do a lot on defense having him out there, being able to switch down the line one through five, having him, having Wendell, just different dudes who could switch and just having him out there to just get a bucket when we need it. You seen he had hit a big step back three today. He's just big in big moments and we're glad to have him back."

Wagner on getting back in the lineup: "I just want to play basketball. If I'm ready to go, like I said, I think I'm not where I want to be yet physically. So using these games to get to that point as soon as I can. And got good, 16 and a half minutes today. And the sooner you start that process, the sooner you get to 100%. And we going to need everybody down the stretch of the season."
