Franz Wagner cleared to return Thursday after 16-game absence

Franz Wagner (ankle) has been removed from the Magic's injury report and is cleared to play in Thursday's game against Memphis. This marks his return after missing 16 consecutive games since suffering a sprained left ankle against the Knicks on December 7. The Magic managed his rehab closely, with Thursday's game in Germany eyed as a potential return date. Wagner is expected to face minute restrictions during his first week back, having typically played over 30 minutes per game prior to his injury.
