Former Celtic center Mo Wagner signs rest-of-season deal with Orlando Magic

The German big man will face Boston with Orlando on May 5.

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.

The German center averaged 1.2 points and 2.1 rebounds with Boston this season.
