Heading into Friday, the Orlando Magic’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors was going to be a showcase of two Rookie of the Year candidates.

That lasted for just 20 seconds.

Franz Wagner sprained his left ankle on the game’s first possession after trying to “pull the chair” on Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes while FSU and Montverde Academy alum Barnes was posting up on the right block.

Wagner limped off the court at 11:40 in the first quarter and was later ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Wagner, the No. 8 pick in last year’s draft, has started in all 78 games so far this season.
