Magic forward Franz Wagner expressed his excitement about working with new coach Sean Sweeney after the team fired Jamahl Mosley in June. During a recent youth basketball camp in Orlando, Wagner, partnered with FlexWork Sports, worked with around 100 children on and off the court, emphasizing the importance of connecting with the community.
Sweeney, who has been in contact with Wagner regularly since the start of the season, is expected to bring significant changes to the Magic's coaching staff after five years of working under Mosley. Wagner admitted that the transition will require adjustments, but emphasized that it will be a catalyst for growth. Additionally, Wagner spent the offseason recovering from injuries, including a right calf strain that he suffered during the playoffs.
He also mentioned the mental toll the season took on him, and how taking time off to decompress helped ease his recovery. With the new season approaching, Wagner is eager to see how the team will adapt to the new coaching staff and potentially reach new levels as a group.
