45 games without Wagner, 29 with him (2025-26 and 2026-27 regular season, only games Bane, Banchero and Carter played).

With Wagner out, Desmond Bane played 35 minutes a game instead of 31 and put up 35 fantasy points instead of 28 (45 games).

Jett Howard, who went from 7 to 14 minutes in these games last season, is now with DAL.

Big numbers are per game without him; “was” is with him, counting only games the teammate played. “Shots” is field-goal attempts. Fewer than 5 games is marked as a small sample.
