Wagner, 22, is set to sign a five-year, $224 million rookie contract extension.

Drafted No. 8 by the Magic in 2021, Wagner has quickly become one of the Magic’s cornerstone players. At 6’10”, Wagner has become a versatile wing for Orlando, becoming one of their best offensive creators and defensive stoppers.

Wagner had his best season as a pro in 2023-2024, registering career highs in (19.7 ppg) , rebounds (5.3 rpg) and assists (3.7 apg).

Wagner was a key reason the Magic went 47-35, earning the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. The Magic lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening round of the playoffs.

Per ESPN Stats & Information, Wagner is the fourth player in Magic history with at least 4,000 points before his 23rd birthday. Wagner joined a list that includes Shaquille O’Neal, Dwight Howard, and Tracy McGrady.
