NJHooper95ParticipantMan this guy derseves a shot. I have had the pleasure of seeing him play in person in High School on several occasions. The best scholastic scorer I have seen period and one of the best scorers period. Parking lot range, great first step, good hops, strong handle, powerful body and a killer instinct to match.

gbmantisParticipantDoes this mean his kidney (I think??) disease is cured and he’s cleared to play? Haven’t heard anything about this guy for a few years. He was really explosive, I think he dropped 30+ a few teams for the cavs playing with Ricky Davis.

XYRYXParticipantIt’s not his kidney. Here some info from his Wikipedia site:
Wagner was hampered by injuries and health problems thereafter. He averaged a career low 4.0 points in only 11 games played during the 2004-05 season, and was hospitalized for ulcerative colitis. The Cavaliers did not exercise their option on his contract for the 2005-06 season and subsequently Wagner was out of the league.
His colitis condition was not amenable to medication and, after consulting with New York Knicks head coach Larry Brown, who referred him to a New York medical expert, Wagner underwent surgery to remove his entire colon on October 25, 2005 at Mount Sinai Hospital.
In April 2006, Wagner began training with former high school rival, Omar Wellington at Nexxt Level Sports in Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey. During his recovery, he was featured in the Philadelphia Daily News and on Comcast SportsNet both reported that he would be attempting a comeback for the 2006 season.
On September 22, 2006 he signed a two-year $1.6 million contract with the Golden State Warriors.[1] On November 20, two months after the former college star recovered from a serious illness to make an NBA comeback, the Warriors bought out his contract after having played only one game and scoring only four points with the team.[7]
On August 31, 2007 Wagner signed a one-year contract with Prokom Trefl Sopot in Poland.[8][9] Averaging 8.3 points in six games, he returned to South Jersey after hurting his hip and reinjuring his knee in Poland.
I have a close friend who also suffers from collitis and cancer was diagnosed last year near his liver and enteric which are close to each other. He is fighting hard since then and is getting chemotherapy for more than 13 months now. This desiase truely is one of the most backstabbing and painful things I’ve ever seen. To only attempt to play in the NBA one more time truely is fantastic if you consider he has no colon anymore.
If the Jazz sign a 5 yo with leukemia one NBA team should at least invite Wagner to training camp or give him a 10 day contract even at age 31. This would not only be a wonderful story for him, but for all the people who suffer from the disease and could really need a perspective going forward.
Btw I have seen multiple people on this site over the years who labeled Wager a bust (probably not knowing about his health condition) and this people need to get their facts straight before judjung on others. I have nothing but great respect for his desire and love for the game!
