Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner will return to the lineup Thursday night against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers.
Wagner has been out since suffering a torn right oblique Dec. 6 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Wagner had been putting together an All-Star-worthy season up until the injury, averaging 24.4 points, 5.7 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game.
Orlando (23-22) entered Thursday in the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference despite not having Paolo Banchero and Wagner for large chunks of the season. Banchero also suffered a turn oblique, missing almost 2½ months before returning earlier this month.
