National basketball player Moritz Wagner has apparently worked out a new contract in the NBA.
The 26-year-old will remain at Orlando Magic for two more years and will continue to play alongside his brother Franz Wagner (21). This was reported by “ESPN” on Saturday evening, citing Wagner’s agent Jason Glushon.
The new contract is said to be worth $16 million, which would be significantly better than Wagner’s previous working paper in Orlando, which brought in $3.6 million for two years.
In the past NBA season, in which Orlando clearly missed the playoffs, Wagner averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds.
He is in the provisional squad of the German national team for the World Cup in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines (25 August to 10 September). The EM 2022, which Germany finished in third place, missed Wagner due to an injury.
