Magic's Bitadze Left Out of Game 7 Rotation as Wagner Eyes Free Agency

Goga Bitadze averaged 5.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.2 minutes per game over 64 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 season.

Although Bitadze served as the backup center behind Wendell Carter for much of the year, he wasn't part of Orlando's Game 7 rotation against the Pistons.

Moritz Wagner, who handled the No. 2 big man duties in Sunday's contest, is an impending free agent this summer.

With Wagner Likely moving on, Bitadze could end up reprising a similar reserve role in 2026-27.
