Boston Celtics short-timer big man Moritz Wagner has found a new team to call home after being cut earlier in April to make room for the Celtics to sign former No. 2 overall pick Jabari Parker.
The German reserve center has inked a rest-of-season deal with the Orlando Magic, ironically one of the teams involved with Boston at the trade deadline though not one involved in the three-team deal that brought him to the Celtics. Wagner, who played in just nine games for Boston between March 26 and April 15, will try his luck with the Florida-based franchise for at least the rest of the 2020-21 NBA season.
While terms of the deal were not disclosed per team policy, the 6-foot-11 big man will have a chance to play the Celtics on May 5, when Boston and Orlando face off for their final meeting of the season.
