Orlando Magic star, Franz Wagner made a return to the NBA after a 48-day absence due to a torn right abdominal muscle. His return didn’t help Magic, who suffered a 22-point blowout loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

Orlando (23-23) didn’t fight well against the sharp defense of Portland, who shot 59.5% from the field in the second half and held the Magic to 31.8% shooting. Orlando have lost five straight games and eight of their last 10.
