The New York Knicks earned a return-match victory against the Orlando Magic on Dec. 7, 2025, taking control soon after forward Franz Wagner left the court with an early injury.
Wagner’s departure occurred in the opening minutes, forcing Orlando to adjust its rotation and allowing New York to dictate the pace for the remainder of the game. The result served as payback for the Knicks, who had fallen to the Magic in the teams’ previous meeting this season.
Details on the severity of Wagner’s injury were not immediately released. Despite the setback, Orlando’s remaining lineup battled to keep the contest close, but New York maintained a steady advantage through the final quarter to secure the win.
