Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner has been officially ruled out for Game 7 against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

Wagner suffered a calf strain in Game 4 and has missed the last two contests.

The 24-year-old has battled injuries throughout the season. He was limited to 34 games during the regular season.

When he is on the court, he continues to be an integral piece of the Magic's success, finishing second in points per game (20.6) and third in rebounds per game (5.2).

In the playoffs, Wagner is averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.8 steals.

The eighth-seeded Magic held a commanding 3-1 lead in the series over the top-seeded Pistons before allowing Detroit to storm back to force a Game 7.
