Can Saints beat Ipswich to blow automatic promotion race wide open?
Southampton faces Ipswich in a pivotal Championship match that could shake up promotion hopes.
Franz Wagner of the Orlando Magic missed the fourth quarter of Game 4 due to right calf soreness. Despite the injury, coach Jamahl Mosley is not overly concerned about his status moving forward.
The No. 8 Orlando Magic have taken a commanding 3-1 series lead over the top-seeded Detroit Pistons, but they may have some trouble brewing.
Star forward Franz Wagner missed the entire fourth quarter of Orlando’s 94-88 victory in Game 4 on Monday, April 27 with right calf soreness. The Magic have taken control over the first-round series against Detroit, and Wagner had been a steady factor in that; he posted an efficient, all-around performance Monday night, scoring 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting, adding 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in just 24:11 on the floor.
But Orlando could find it difficult to fill in for Wagner, who is one of the team’s key offensive threats. Despite the injury, however, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley didn’t seem too concerned about Wagner’s status moving forward.

“I talked to him a little bit (after the game), but that’s about it,” Mosley said. “But he’s in good spirits right now.”
Still, calf injuries are delicate and can require periods of rest, especially because of their connection to Achilles tendon ruptures, which require lengthy recovery times.
The Magic eventually listed Wagner as questionable to return after he was removed from the game. Though he sat the entire fourth, Wagner was present on the bench, cheering his team on as they repelled a Detroit rally in the final minutes.
Wagner appeared in just 34 games this season. He averaged 20.6 points on 48.1% shooting, adding 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Alongside Paolo Banchero, Wagner is the other top offensive threat for the Magic, who have defended Detroit well in the first round.
In Wagner’s absence, backup Magic forward Jamal Cain stepped up massively in the fourth quarter, and he and Tristan da Silva likely figure to have larger roles if Wagner misses time.
Cain scored 8 points on 4-of-8 shooting Monday night, including a thunderous dunk on Pistons rim protector Jalen Duren.
“We’ve put ourselves in position to try to get four (games), but right now, it means nothing,” Mosley said. “We have the advantage, and now we just have to make sure we try to keep that advantage.”
