Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner has been diagnosed with a right calf strain, and his availability for Game 5 against the Detroit Pistons is uncertain, the team announced Tuesday.
The Magic said Wagner's status will depend on how he responds to treatment.
"It bothered me enough to get out of the game," Wagner said after Monday's 94-88 win, according to Cody Taylor of The Rookie Wire. "It sucks to come out of the game. The most important thing is that we got the win."
Wagner scored 19 points and played 24 minutes in Game 4 before leaving the contest with the injury in the third quarter.
The 24-year-old is averaging 16.8 points and shooting 44% from the field across four playoff games against Detroit. Orlando leads the series 3-1.
