The Brooklyn Nets signed veteran center Moritz Wagner to a multi-year contract on Friday.

Terms were not released, but ESPN reported the deal was for two years and $19 million.

Wagner, 29, spent the past five-plus seasons with the Orlando Magic. The Nets are his fifth NBA team.

The 6-foot-11 Germany native averaged 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds in 36 games off the Magic bench in 2025-26.

Wagner has career averages of 9.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 16.2 minutes in 399 games (57 starts) with the Los Angeles Lakers (2018-19), Washington Wizards (2019-21), Boston Celtics (2021) and Magic (2021-26).

He has shot 51.8% from the field and 80.8% from the free-throw line since being drafted by the Lakers in the first round (25th overall) out of Michigan in 2018.

Younger brother Franz Wagner has been with the Magic since they selected him with the No. 8 overall draft pick in 2021.
