The second-best point yield in Franz Wagner’s still young NBA career did not make the Orlando Magic a surprise success with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite the Berliner’s 27 points, the Florida team lost 96: 101 and suffered their 18th loss of the season. “I’m very proud of the way he played out there tonight,” said coach Jamahl Mosley of Franz Wagner, whose brother Moritz Wagner was not used for tactical reasons.
In addition, the 20-year-old also had six rebounds and five assists. According to league information, only legend Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway, Jameer Nelson, Victor Oladipo and Cole Anthony managed to do that in their debut season at the Orlando Magic before the German.
“It’s a change for the time being. At Alba we won a lot more than we lost, and also at Michigan,” said Wagner, who played in successful teams at Alba Berlin in the Bundesliga and at the college in Michigan. “But I think that’s part of it. If you look at the good teams today: Many of them have gone through exactly those phases. I think we just have to take the process with us and learn from mistakes. That’s the only thing we do can.”
First of all, Wagner had a better yield with 28 counters NBA. On Monday he was the best thrower of the game and also put five baskets on for teammates.
Maxi Kleber also suffered a defeat with the Dallas Mavericks. At 96: 114 at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kleber scored 13 points.
Without national player Daniel Theis, who did not play again, the Houston Rockets got better and faster and won their third win in a row. The Texans defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 102: 89.
